Fine mist
Cape Town is having a HUGE run of dry and hot weather. Really hot weather.
And fires too, always a nice combination. Aside from the smoke, which is
smelly, some houses burnt down too. Not ours though so that's good, although
the garden is slowly dieing due to water restrictions.

On the issue of water we went to Moyo, a restaurant at Spier, all outdoors,
or under tents, no aircon, but they do have these fine water mist sprays and
fans to help get it cool. They do sort of work. The best though is the
buffet food. W's eye's lit up when the waiter told us about the three
(four?) different meet sections that you could go to (in addition to veg,
fruit, salad, seafood and dessert of course) Needless to say we ate
ourselves to a standstill. I recommend the springbok stew, really nice.
