Cycling The Road Less Travelled

We are devastated. Crushed, gutted, heartbroken, overcome with disappointment. We just don’t know how to get over this latest upset. After weeks of anticipation, we woke up early this morning and drove straight from the Namibian border to Stellenbosch just so that we could go to Manoushes for dinner. Horror of all horrors, it was closed. Shut down for three weeks as Jean the chef is on holiday. Not only were we deprived of his mouth-watering zaataar today, but we will leave South Africa before he returns. Oh the devastation, oh the disappointment. Spiros is just beside himself. How…how could this happen I ask you? But, we’re tough. We’ll soldier on and someday, somehow we will find a way to be happy again.
