Lucky in lodge

During our time in Cape Town, Charlotte York and I are staying at Blackheath Lodge, a quaint little establishment which we are 99.8% sure is run by a nice gay couple. There are only a few rooms in this place, and consequently, all the patrons get a great deal of individual attention.

The proprietor has helped us book tours, make restaurant reservations and seen to it that we're well situated. It's a very pleasant and homey environment to return to after a long day of sightseeing and best of all, they prepare a mean breakfast buffet!

In addition to fruit, yogurt, eggs made to order, bacon, toast and cheeses, they prepare "quiches" unlike any I've ever seen before. Instead of a pie crust, these eggy blobs are wrapped in filo dough and they're much lighter and fluffier than any other quiche I've known.

Also, there are two resident cats, a brother and sister named Lime and Soda. Lime is approximately 75 lbs. while Soda is sleek and slender. I joked that they needed a cat named Vodka, but I was informed that Vodka died. Furthermore, the cats groom each other! It's tres cute to see them lick each other's fur and nibble each other behind the ears.
