Where have I been???

I have been reminded a few times that it is 8 days since my last post and can offer neither excuse nor apology - I'm on holiday!

In mitigation, I could claim that there was only limited internet access while we were at De Hoop but that was only the last 4 days so I've probably just been lazy.

Since my last post, we had another good wine tasting experience on Sunday at Diemersfontein in Wellington

on our way to a great lunch with Sue and Ally and Cameron in Paarl. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as the company but we did have a good time  and impressed that they were still in such good form after a weekend of partying.

After 4 days in Stellenbosch, we were quite happy to be moving on. Getting on the road after a little essential shopping, we headed for Gordon’s Bay and then continued down the coast road towards Pringle’s Bay. Great road to drive with some amazing views but worth stopping at the viewing points as the road had a lot of fast traffic – we came upon a crash with the police and rescue services in attendance. Didn’t look good for the motorcyclist who was laying on the roadside.

Pringle’s Bay looked interesting but just as we arrived the clouds came over and it started to rain so we continued to Betty’s Bay and stopped at the Botanical Gardens for lunch. The rain had stopped by the time we finished so spent an hour of so wandering around the gardens – great to see such a variety of sunbirds.

Back on the road we decided to stop in Hermanus for the night and found a room at a B&B called Pat's Place.
