Wine Country

Well, we're back from wine country. Again, what a day. It was cloudy and sort of wet and drizzly but the area was still spectacular. Great wines too. We went to 4 different wine farms and I ended up buying a lot more wine than I expected to. It'll be fun figuring out how to transport all this back!!

We ate lunch at a place called Franschook, small and cute town with a surprisingly good French restaurant. Then back for more vineyards and amazing views. The strangest part of the day was when we were heading to the last wine farm, we saw ostrich and antelope (bok) in a farm on the side of the road just by the highway. We stopped to take some pictures and then moved on and a quarter mile later, we saw zebra! It was very cool indeed.

The last place we went to was an area called Spier. They have a game resort/restaurant/hotel/vineyard and we ate dinner at this incredible restaurant called Moyo. It is outdoors and you sit under tents (they give you heaters and big fires and blankets to keep warm) and they have this huge, amazing buffet. It was wonderful. Of course, I ate waaay too much but it was really neat. They also come around and paint your face - very cool.

We all had a really nice time and they played great music and had some live music as well. Lots of fun.

Now we're home and luckily, it's an early night. I'm off to enjoy some sleep. Tomorrow, we're sort of on call so I'm thinking we won't get a lot done but if the weather is nice, we're going to try to do Cape Point.
