Stellenbosch and Franschoek


On this day (seems like a while ago now, but we have some catching up to do on this blog!), we went on a wine tour in Stellenbosch. We woke up early, got picked up by our unenthusiastic host, and headed off to the hostel where the tour would start out. We went to four different wineries during the day, got a little drunk, and forgot all about what happened (I'm updating this on 9/2 ... forgive me!) Later that night, Justin and I headed to Le Quartier Francais, a great little french restaurant in the adorable town of Franschoek. Dinner was fantastic (though expensive), and we spent a lot of time admiring the art on the walls and thinking about how lucky we were to get the last table (even after we'd tried -- and failed -- to make a reservation earlier).
We got a room in an adorable guesthouse, Roland's Huitspan, where the proprietor Harriet made us feel right at home (and Justin and I convinced Andrew that her name was "Sally"). "Sally" cooked us a lovely breakfast the next morning before we headed off!
