After Cape Town we left for Hermanus, a small town on the coast of South Africa known for its whale watching. We were there just at the beginning of whale season (supposedly June-November) but the locals said we were too early. We did get to see some dolphins though which was pretty awesome!
We left to have lunch at a restaurant on the route to Stellenbosch where we were supposed to be picked up for a wine tour. We had an excellent lunch (I had curry mince vetkoek and Rachel had springbok pie) but the wine tour forgot about us. Always confirm by phone in South Africa as email confirmations are apparently not good enough. So we decided to do our own tour and hit up two wineries (Haute Cabriere and Uva Mira) before going to our hostel in Stellenbosch.
The next day we were picked up by the Vinehopper at 9:35am for our all day wine tour. We visited five wineries around Stellenbosch and over the two days we tried 53 different wines. They were all so good! Can't wait until I get to go wine tasting again!
