Kalky's in Kalk Bay
The best time to go would be an hour or so before lunch time – just to make sure that you get a seat. You’ll find the restaurant located close to the water’s edge, inside Kalk Bay harbour.
And, if you’re wondering why it’s so empty… it’s because this photo was taken a little while after 8am, while the restaurant was closed. 
Olympia Bakery in Kalk Bay
The side of the building that faces Main Road has large glass windows that allow the morning brightness to flood the restaurant. I’d hoped we could have a bite to eat at the bakery’s restaurant, but it seems as though it’s popular enough that one would have to book in advance to get a seat. So alas, we moved on to an alternative restaurant that was ok, but not quite as awesome as I think Olympia would have been.
We’ll have to make a plan to return – perhaps for breakfast and then hop over the road for lunch at Kalky’s!
Land Rover, the best 4x4 for Africa-trips?
Land Rovers have been so pervasive in Africa over the last 20 or 30 years that finding desperately needed spare parts on old broken-down Landy is very likely – even in the remotest of African villages. The same cannot be said for modern, albeit awesome, 4x4s. What that says for the Land Rover’s durability is an arguing point that my Toyota friends would certainly pose, but in reality it’s true, any vehicle is prone to failing at some point and it’s undeniable that having a ready supply of old parts is always super-useful.
That said, I’d probably rather road-trip though Africa in a comfy new 4×4 and fork out the money for a satellite phone than take a 4,000km trip in one of these rattle-traps.
