Touring Around Cape Town

Well, the weather finally cleared a bit and we made it down Cape Point all the way to the Cape of Good Hope. This is the southwesternmost point on the African continent. Just when you think you're getting close to the South Pole, you see a sign at Cape Point that says we're still a LONG way off - 3,800 miles further.










We stopped along the tour at an Ostrich Farm, and of course, Caren had to feed the animals. She wanted to take an ostrich home. She settled for a painted ostrich egg - another dustible for the living room.










Here is Caren at the Cape of Good Hope. The weather was blustery - about 5 minutes later it started to rain. We got some great shots from Cape Point, looking across False bay back towards Cape Town.















We also travelled to Stellenbosch - the heart of South African wine country. Coincidentally, we stopped at Jordan Winery. Of course, we had to have a tasting and buy a bottle. They gave us a glass with their logo on it. Will be an interesting conversation piece. This winery is not to be confused with the Jordan Winery in California - different owners, not related. When the SA winery imports into the U.S., they stick a different label on it "Jardin".

Stellenbosch is an old Dutch Cape city and the home of a large university. Lots of old houses kept as national landmarks from the Dutch era in the 1600s-1800s.
