we have finally made it to wine country - yippeee!!! this I have really been looking forward to, there are over 200 vineyards here and you just drive from one to another tasting the wine and eating yummy cheese!!
we have had an interesting 3 days since my last post though!!! At Storms River we decided to get some excercise after spending the last 2 weeks sitting in a car and went to do the 4km hike to a waterfall. George and I took the wrong road and ended up doing 9kms!!!!! Alot of it was climbing over boulders around the coast and was pretty hairy in places!! sufice to say I have survived...........
Then we went to KNYSNA for a night, where we did a bit of tasting of the local oysters................delish! then drove along the coast for an hour before we realised we have forgotten our laundry and had to go back!.............nice blue lagoon here, pity the water is so flamin' cold!!
Then we drove to Ostrich country where our list of "MUST DO's" started with eating ostrich and riding ostrich in that order!! the eating was really good...........words cannot describe the riding!!! I had no idea they could go so fast with someone on top, neither did George, especially when he fell off and ended up at the Doctors with a suspected fractured bone!!!! finally we found out he hadn't done any real harm and a painkilling injection in the bum soon sorted him out.........pics to come soon!!!
So I am now permanently driving as George recuperates and he seems to have become designated wine taster!!
we only had time to visit two vineyards today but after getting the taste for it we've decided to stay on and spend the day here tomorrow too - tough call.
