    South Africa is actually experiencing a lot of rain, wind and a bit of a cold front in terms of weather at the moment, so unfortunately your family missed out on a typical December Cape Town day! I mean, it IS usually windy in Cape Town, but this is ridiculous! Normally it's quite hot in the Western Cape this time of the year (it is after all the middle of our summer), but we've been experiencing some really cold and rainy days over here in Pretoria in Gauteng and if that is the case we know that it's freezing cold and windy in the Western Cape! By the way, the area with the seals (yes that's what they are called and they are stinky!) is called Hout Bay. As for the domestic flights, it speeds up the boarding process to have passengers sitting in the front half going in the front and passengers in the back half going in the back, but it depends on the airline and the type of plane that is being flown whether you will climb up stairs to get inside the plane or not. Usually passengers in the front don't have to walk across the tarmac and climb into the plane; only passengers in the back have to do that. But this is South Africa, so the rules can change on a daily basis! Lastly, here's a good tip: the best time of the year to visit Cape Town for great weather and cheaper accommodation is in February and March. Happy to see you all had a good time!

People moved tents closer to the rocks for protection from the wind, i had a bad day because as i was braaing, ash from the coals was blowing on to the meat, like literally covering on both side... Later in the day the wind subsided (around 3/4pm). But how can you get angry with something so natural, so "non-man" you realise that the world is better than you, you realise the land you live on takes care of you, protects, you, feeds you, gives you life, its so natural and i love it, wouldn't go anywhere else in the world. ❤️🇿🇦

The wind can get so strong that it can rip you off your feet. I remember one year holding onto a street sign with my feet clean off the ground. The cape of storms its famous for that since antiqity. The wind is part of our heritage and a welcome dear friend that cleans the bay and has a rich history and stories around it.
