Nails still looking good! Tip - don't spray Deet (it's in mosquito spray) any where near nail varnish as it destroys it. Quite a few ladies have found this out on the trip. Sue's tip is to put a rubber glove on before you spray but she forgot to pack one and we couldn't find one in the Bush!
So, I have had the Concierge and his side kick looking for a Salsa Club for us to visit either tonight, Friday, or tomorrow, Saturday, for the past two days. They ring me in our room to say that they can't find any Salsa clubs in Cape Town. Not one for giving up easily, I search Google myself and come up with a club in an area not far from the Hotel. At 9.30, after we had had a lovely buffet at the hotel and I sampled Ostrich for main course, we get in a taxi in search of this Salsa club. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it but we found a club called Cubana, Havanna Lounge and Latino Cafe, instead so we told the Taxi driver to drop us off at this club because it looked interesting. When we got there they asked us if we had a reservation and we said that we didn't but we told them we were from London and that we were into Cuban music so they sat us in the VIP area!
We then hooked up with a group of girls, one who's name was Lattie, who were smoking a Happy pipe and dancing. Needless to say we joined in and had such a brilliant time. Sue and I took it in turns to dance in the middle of a big crowd of men and women who clapped us after we had finished - it was totally hilarious. Needless to say we were half cut on Mohijos and Caipirinha and when we left we laughed all the way home in the taxi and greeted, like long lost friends, all the bar men in the hotel bar when we got back. Sozzleificus!

That's my girl!! I wouldn't expect you two to be anywhere but in the VIP lounge!!
ReplyDeleteExactly - what can I say! xx
DeleteWhat can I say. I'm proud of you. Dog with a bone. You want dancing. You will find dancing. What fun. Can't wait to hear the nitty and the gritty, the stuff you can't share with the world!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, remind me to tell you about the two people who wanted to come and join our girlie party group! Oh yes, and remind me to tell you about the man who had angel wings on his leather jacket! Plenty of stories to tell - look out!
DeletePerseverance paid off and you got your dancing in.Well done.!
ReplyDeleteYes, we got the dancing in but I forgot to get it on video - I really must train myself up a bit more! I would loved to have got Sue dancing in the middle of the crowd, it would have been priceless! xx
