Wine Country & pics

Sorry its been a while since we last posted, but quite honestly we've been taking it easy this week in anticipation for our next few weeks coming up (lots of driving again, to Swaziland and Mozambique, then 2 safaris in a row). Here's what's been up:

-Wine Tasting...mmm. We went to 13 wineries in the South African Wine Country, and it was deee-licious. There are tons of wine routes and cities that people go to - we went to two of the main ones (Stellenbosch and Franschoek). And it was a gorgeous weekend to boot:













above: Goats DO Roam at the Fairview winery (our 2nd favorite as it included deeeeeelicious cheese tastings as well)
below: our favorite winery tasting: La Grande Provence in Franschoek. We are still trying to figure out how to get wine from there to take back.





















above: hilarity at the Lourensford Winery (what the heck is that little dude??)

A special shout-out to Lyndon for driving us around Stellenbosch and showing us Hermanus as well!

Will write tomorrow about the Garden Route and other relaxing things about the week.
