After a leisurely breakfast at the Concierge, we drove back to King Shaka airport to find that the hire company were as impressed by the state of the car as I was - you know that feeling when you get through the security check at Heathrow or Gatwick without any searches!
Uneventful Mango flight to the Mother City on the day that President Zuma is due to give his State of the Nation Address - thankfully we were heading for Stellenbosch.
This time our hire car is a brand new Ford - only delivery mileage and all the bells and whistles - Linda is particularly happy that it shows the outside temperature.
Our first attempt at Airbnb appears to have worked out well. We have a very comfortable garden apartment within easy walking distance of the town centre. WE are in town for 4 days so it's good to have a comfortable, spacious place to call home.
Excellent dinner at Oppie Dorp with a very good Pinotage from Diemersfontein. Linda had the game special - a a fillet of Kudu and of Ostrich - while I settled for their special slow cooked Lamb. The waitress came over a couple of times to check if we were happy with the meal - apparently she was concerned because she hadn't seen us take a picture of our plates.
We are booked for two activities on the morrow - Yoga class at 9.00 for an hour followed by a 3/4 day wine tasting tour at 11.30 - should keep us both happy for the whole day.
