Sunday, August 25, traveling to Cape Town, wine and shopping

We landed in Cape Town about 10:30, met our new driver Fareed, and headed north from the airport to this winery for a tasting. It was quite a swishy place. It was warm enough to sit outside, enjoy the view and enjoy the wine. Wine in South Africa is good and amazingly inexpensive. At dinner a glass if wine is 250 ml and will cost about $3.






This is a real flower, a protea, in an arrangement on the reception desk at the winery. It is at least 7 inches across


As we left the winery, several if us walked part way down the drive to enjoy the flora. This is a bird of paradise


One if the vineyards


The floor in the winery was made of peach pits embedded in a resin. It was quite beautiful and a bit bumpy


Each type of vineyard was labeled





That evening we we on our own for dinner so Margaret and I took the hotel shuttle to the waterfront and enjoyed a light supper, more wine, and a beautiful view


The view from our table


We returned via the shuttle to get rested up for the surprises on Monday
