There have been many whale sightings reported close to Albany over the past few weeks.  Some are seen from the shore and others out near the islands, tour operator, Albany Whale Tours can’t wait any longer, so their season is underway.

A perfect place for lunch is at the Pepper and Salt Restaurant in Denmark. Surrounded by beautfiul gardens, vineyards and water fountains all seen through the most amazing clean windows. The service was outstanding during the entire meal and the table visits from Chef Silas were appreciated and enjoyed. The food was delicious and the presentation meticulous. We loved the origin of the name of the restaurant and the pepper and salt grinder on the table. Chef Silas is Mr Pepper and his wife Ange is Mrs Salt.
We enjoyed the Pepper & Salt Regional Producers Platter and Blue Manna Crab Wontons,Scotsdale Marron in a Shitake and Bacon Hock Broth.
