They live in the mountains above us and are very elusive, it's very rare to see them. I have friends that live near Capetown. I'll tell them to shop Woolworth and use the Loyalty card. One of my son's and his wife will be visiting there in January. I'm sharing your blog link with them, I know they will enjoy it as much as I. I so enjoy seeing your beautiful countryside.
