A beautiful day out

On Monday Mitan and I for old times sake hit the gym in the morning.We did a double crunch workout in order to pack it all in.Mitan and I used to gym together year before last for a short period of abt two months.We kept each other motivated and became spinning class addicts.
It was so good to re-live that experience and to top it off we got to attend a spinning class with one of our fave instructors "Arthur."
We had such an awesome work out.We then dashed home and got ready for our day out to Kalk Bay.Cashel,Mitan and I boarded the train from Newlands and enjoyed the sights and sounds.It really is a most beautiful journey along the seaside as you approach Muizenberg.I could see that even some of the local commuters still appreciate the scenery as they too were standing up to peer out of the window.
I kept gasping at the beauty of this city and I let it all sink in.
We got off in Kalk Bay starving!As we walked through Kalk bay deciding where to eat we spotted the most yummy looking red velvet cupcakes at a coffee shop called "Tribeca".
Cashel suggested we buy some takeaways as they might dissapear before we thought we would head back there after lunch.
We secured our cupcakes and went over to Brass Bell.What a gorgeous view and what a stunning day.We had a seat right next to the big glass windows.
It was perfect.During lunch an old lady came to do some laps in the tidal pool next to us.I felt the joy the woman must get from swimming there.I of course felt like I should be in there swimming too!Lol She looked like she did this daily.
After a lunch of random chatter and very good laughs we headed to Tribeca and ended up having hot beverages and the cupcakes out of the takeaway box.Lol
Those cupcakes were so YUM!!!!!At long last I had a decent red velvet cupcake.
We then took a walk through the Main road and window shopped and then headed back to the station.We were tired by then so we sat silently and enjoyed the ride.I recall sitting there feeling deeply grateful for our friendship and for this beautiful day we had had so far and grateful for a damn good tummy workout due to all the laughter!I had not laughed like that in a long time.I cried from laughter and following the morning workout my tummy was a little sore.
We got back to town and chilled for a while and then had a final dinner with Mitan and his friends before he headed back to Jozi the next day.We sat at the bakers table @ Cafe Paradiso and had a most delicous meal.Yip I did have my fave linguine with chilli,parsley and garlic.Simple pastas are the best.
We shared a most delicious choc fondant after our main with a yummy scoop of ice cream.Perfect ending to the three musketeers day :) I went to bed with my heart glowing.The next morning I received an email from Mitan that brought me to tears of gratitude.
He expressed his gratitude for our friendship and was thankful for the day we three had together.Well let me tell you that was the start of an odd tear here and there just at the thought of the friendships and special moments I have experienced and shared here in Cpt.Even a song has triggered some tears this morning.All happy tears :)
