4th Feb: Proper View of Table Mountain


What on earth is Andy doing, I hear you all ask? No, he's not being sick! That's us in South Africa's oldest vineyard ("Groot Constantia" - just celebrated 350 yrs) having a wine tasting. He's (pretending!) to do the right thing and spit it out! He didn't/wouldn't (waste good wine). Not sure we were their favourite visitors today. We don't know much about wine and they didn't look too impressed when the girls were laughing at me spitting the wine out (I had to, I was driving; you all know me, 3 sips and I'm anyone's!). We had a gorgeous meal there.


We drove up to one of the Northern Coast beaches where you get a fantastic view of Table Mountain. Probably more fantastic was watching the kite surfers jump the waves on their surf boards hanging onto a sail canopy. Some of them looked like real pro's! Pippa thought she'd like a go. Maybe in about 10 year's time!

Last full day tomorrow. I have this strange feeling that we're going to be spending some of it back with those waddly black and white things...
