We went caving in the mountains above St James and Kalk Bay. After over an hour crawling through the caves (a real adventure), we emerged to discover a Whatsapp from Jo saying there was a fire in the Kalk Bay mountains. We climbed to a high vantage point and indeed there was a rather scary looking fire coming our way. We put foot out of there and hiked to Silvermine to ensure our safety, a lot longer hike than we had been planning. Jo very kindly came to pick us up and take us to retrieve Russell's car. We then went for a celebratory ice cream in Kalk Bay and a swim at St James.
