Fabulous Time in Cape Town

Yesterday was a gorgeous drive out to The Cape of Good Hope (Cape Point National Park). Table Mountain National Park is broken up into pieces. Cape Point is one. We hiked about 4 miles along the bluff. It is a sharp point where you can see the ocean on both sides. This is not where the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean meet. That would be Cape Aguilhas, about 30 miles south. We will visit there later.... Today we are out to do wine country. Believe me this area leaves nothing to Sonoma, Willamette, or even Tuscany. Absolutely beautiful, very
Eu ropean and we are benefitting nicely from the exchange rate... We decided to spend the night out here as opposed to driving back to Scarborough. We have a guest room in Stellenbosch for the night. This city is full of art, old buildings, restaurants, and activities. It is central to the best wineries in S Africa. The first we visited was very much like a French Chateau. Very old Dutch buildings, gardens, and vineyards. Just got back from a lovely dinner in the art center of Stellenbosch. Surrounded by galleries and fine art, bronze is a very popular medium..... Don't want to forget frollicking with the South African Penquins....a very endangered species and the only colony that exists is in Simons Town. A short drive from our home base.
