To the winelands and beyond....

Well after a day in Worster we drove down to the wine region with a wee hotel called River Manor in Stellenbosch - it's stunning. Nice spa place that will form base camp for the next few days.

So today was a very relaxed day. We pottered down through Franschoek, a really beautiful town with some lovely coffee shops and some machine gun toting police people. Not sure what they were doing but they were busy.

Bigman has replaced lasagne with pancakes as the food of choice and more were ordered this morning. Every coffee shop seems to out do the last. It's been an epic trip!

Our plans are fluid and with Bigman's arm improving by the day we're thinking about riding the route of the Arghus - a road bike race south of Cape Town as well as Franschoek Pass. The pass is a significant climb and if the arm is up to it we'll do it.

Also looking at riding the route of the Argus - a road bike race of 110km - looking forward to it......

Had a wee run to loosen off the legs today - it was great to get out in the warmth.

So wine tour tomorrow - should be fun!
