Well an early start after a restful evening however today would not be so restful. It was our last full day as a tour group together and today we were heading for Stellenboch. Stellenboch is part of the wine region of South africa, yes wine region thats right and it was only 7am at that point!. Luckily for us it would take us a few hours from our current location to get to our hostel..... the stumble inn, quite aptly named for such a place.
Today we would take a wine tour. This wine tour commenced at 10.30am, tkaing in 4 wineries averageing 4 to 6 different wines at each stop. I know you are conjuring up an image in your head and it is probably very accurate. Take a group of 12 people stick them in a minibus and send them off to wineries, obviously we had a driver too.
The days events started off quite pleasantly but as more and more wine was consumed both in the winereies and inbetween, well for some people you may as well have hooked up an intravenous line I swear. Im not referrring to myself by the way when I say this.
The wine region itself is pretty amazing fields and fields of vines for as far as the eye can see, and the weather was just perfect. Now I do not think I need to describe a winery tour it was all pretty average until the end where amongst the group we aquired a very badly sprained toe at the last winery due to sprinting through the sprinklers and also someone was very sick to the point of not functioning but anyway everyone came away unscathed bar a few hangovers and we were all ready for bed at 5pm!!!. It was surely great fun and I can recommend it to anyone who might find themselves over that way.
