Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a busy day, getting up at 6h00, to squeeze in as much client work as possible; for the fantastic news that Utopia won Africa’s Best Rooftop Restaurant 2021, in amazing company of other category winners Wolfgat, La Colombe, and Chefs Warehouse Tintswalo ❤️❤️❤️; for fetching my German tourists at the V&A to take them on a day trip on their last Cape Town day down to the south, including Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, Kommetjie, Chapman’s Peak, Hout Bay; for the Boulders Beach cashier recognizing my Tourist Guiding badge, and reversing my entrance fee at Boulders 🙏; for an early dinner at Zest Restaurant, my clients loving the springbok and the fabulous service from Josie; for it being weekend after a very busy week; and for being happy, healthy, and free. 🙏💙
