Cape Winelands

We started our day by travelling to the Afrikaans language monument. Per chance at the monument we met up with Helen Duarte an her friends and family where we had much conversation about with is was like in the old days of Apartheid in SA as well as how this group foresaw the future of our country. The following pictures were taken of the whole group at the monument

After our journey to the Afrikaans Language monument we travelled via Stellenbosch to Mooiberg farm stall where I took the pictures below

Cape Peninsula

Andee and Rick on the bridge at AtrlanticView (as can be seen it was a very misty day)

The Browns on a very misty Chapmans Peak

We stopped in at a Pick and Pay in Sunrise Valley so that Andee and Rick could experience what a supermarket was like in South Africa

Andee and Rick at Cape Point

At the penguin colony on Boulders Beach

We returned back to Camps Bay via Chapmans Peak as the mist had cleared up and the wonderful views that we missed in the morning had become a wonderful visual treat.

We travelled on via the Atlantic seaboard and thereafter moved on to Table Mountain where we ascended the mountain by cable car

After Table Mountain we traveled back to AtlanticView where after sunsets drinks at the guesthouse I took this fitting farewell sunset picture of Rick and Andee.

Rick and Andee were absolutely wonderful, upstanding citizens to travel with. They were such great company at all times and they truly represented an amazing pleasure to tour around Cape Town with. We had a fabulous time together and we saw as well as shared much. In essence we simply had a great time in a wonderful city.

THANKS FOR AN AWESOME TRAVEL EXPERIENCE
