Again, we woke up to clear blue skies and very warm weather! Finally had a really good night's sleep so felt ready for today. Helen had booked a tour for the Delheim Wine Farm in Stellenbosch - a family run wine farm which was started by Spatz Sperling who arrived from Germany in the early 1950's. However we suddenly realised that we had lost the map book so headed out 'on a hunch' to where this place was! After pulling over to find out where we needed to be, we ...

We woke up to a lovely sunny morning with the temperature already in the mid-twenties by 9:30am! As the weather was good with clear blue skies we decided that today would be a good day to go up Table Mountain. The drive up to the Mountain was fantastic in itself - the roads curve round and you get fabulous panoramic views.

So after that little drama, we are now sat down with a burger and a beer :) But now we've just checked our seat numbers and we've fou...

Right, well the chickens are with the parentals, the cat is in the cattery (hope she's stopped crying by now!)..... and now begins the packing.
