Shopping

Many of you know how much I enjoy traipsing around a shopping mall, so after about an hour in the town centre mall in Stellenbosch to allow Linda to replace some of the clothes which did not survive the Safari lodge laundries, I felt it was time for lunch at one of the wine estates.

Delheim did not disappoint - excellent food and even better wines sitting on a shaded terrace looking over their acres of vines.

Shopping after lunch is much more my style and after tasting some more of their wines, I managed to spend a few Rand on a shipment of their excellent produce to be delivered to us back at Moyhill. Even with the shipping cost and taxes, it worked out at less than €12 per bottle.

Dinner was a selection of sushi and tempura in a 'Japanese tapas bar' and then off to the cinema to see Imitation Game which we have missed everywhere else. Only 6 of us in a 150 seat cinema - bit like Ennis on a Tuesday night.

Enjoyed the film however, then had to fight our way through the hordes of students who are still in their first month and appear to be spending their entire first year's allowance in one go (something for Kirsten to consider in September!)  Our landlady suggested that they would be buying health food on their pharmacy accounts by the time Easter gets here.

Thursday morning and time to get on the road for a bit of relaxation and some self-catering.
