We flew down to Cape Town on Monday and have enjoyed the last few days here. We spent Tuesday planning our adventures north and have now spent the last few days enjoying the area around Cape Town. Yesterday we traveled down to the Cape of Good Hope, the southern most point on the continent. We stopped along the way for breakfast in Simon's Town and visited the African penguins that live on Boulders Beach.
We then traveled on to Stellenbosch and Franschhoek for a little wine tasting in the wine region. We spent the night in Franschhoek, which is much smaller and quainter than the larger town of Stellenbosch, and stayed at
La Fontaine. We had an amazing dinner at
Dieu Donne Vineyards overlooking the entire valley at sunset. The restaurant only opened a few weeks ago, but the food was divine! The French influence was a plus and we both agree it was one of the best meals we've had so far on the trip. The ostrich was yummy:)
This morning we had a lovely wine tasting at Cabriere Estate, where the owner's wife took us on a tour of the wine cellar and we tasted their wonderful bubbly and wine - it was a 2 hour affair! Now we are back in Cape Town and headed for a hike up Table Mountain to catch the sunset.
More photos from our travels in and around Cape Town. Tomorrow morning we are off to Swakopmund, Namibia to begin a two week overland tour through Namibia, Bostwana, and eventually ending at Victoria Falls in Zambia. We'll share photos and more stories when we get a chance...
