This town is quite a bit larger as there are universities here as well as many wine farms on the perimeter.
But before our quick exploration of town we stopped at Jordan Winery (to avoid trademark infringement in the US they relabel as “Jardin” when importing.) We really enjoyed our tasting, and lunch at the outdoor bakery venue was a dining highlight of the trip for Kat.
These wineries are all incredibly picturesque, and a lot more low key and less “sales oriented” than Napa and Sonoma. Instead of saying “you’re welcome” here, the locals most always say “a pleasure”. Every time I hear it, I want to respond “no, this is my pleasure!”
Then it was off to Cape Town. We took a little walk exploring the city and Company Gardens for ourselves a bit, though it seems to be a bit more of a security high alert city than we hoped. This was our first nice view of Table Mountain. I’m sure you can see how it got it’s name.
Back at our guest house we started researching our day tomorrow poolside. Did I mention it was 95 degrees today? Weather here is amazingly changeable. It can swing 30 degrees during the day, and vary from one town to the next town only a few miles down the road.
Tomorrow we have planned to explore the Cape of Good Hope. Here’s good hoping for good weather
