Oupa picked us up at the airport and drove our tired butts home.

Here we are.

Tired.

No sleep.

Let have more wine!! Yay!!

It is a beautiful morning in Gordon’s Bay. A nice winters morning of 64F, but there is quite a breeze blowing!

We both slept for 13 hours!

Flat.

On a bed.

After three days of flying, do you have any idea how much that means!

Our first stop of today’s wine tour was not open on Mondays and Tuesday, so we stopped across the road at Eikendal.

This is the vineyard where we had our wedding reception 4 years ago.

Great start to the day!

On the road.

There are more wine farms waiting…!

Next stop is Fairview. One of our favorite wine farms in the area.

On the farm is the world famous goat tower. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_tower

It also has some of the nicest wines in the area. And the wine taste so much better here on the farm than what we get in the USA. And vastly cheaper too!

We stopped next door to Fairview at a place called Spice Road. There is a restaurant called Barley & Biltong that serves a biltong platter.

There is no way to describe how amazing biltong is. And to have a huge platter of it for lunch is just decadent.

Next door to the biltong restaurant was a chocolate manufacturer. Of course we had to go for a tasting!

It was so good! We ended up spending more in the chocloate place than we did for lunch for four, which included wine.

Aaahhh…!!

How can we not stop at Vrede en Lust?One of our favorite farms to sit and relax. The wines are great and the service is exemplary.

By this time of the day it was the perfect place to be since we were very ‘relaxed’ already.
