Time to go

Before we arrived in Australia we made plans to have a holiday in South Africa, a place I have always wanted to visit. We arrived in Cape Town to warm weather and bright sunshine, we picked up our Hire-Car and made our way to our hotel named "The Spier" which is part of the Stellenbosch Winelands. What a lovely suprise when we arrived to find this huge room and massive bed.
Even better was the huge bathroom with double sink, shower and a bath that may have fitted an entire Rugby team.
To break ourselves in slowly we drove to Stellenbosch which was a few miles away and took a stroll around. The Rhenish Church was built in 1823 as a school for slaves` children and "coloured" people.

Once a cabbage always a cabbage here I am outside the VOC Kruithuis, the magazine of the Dutch East India Company which was built in 1777 to defend the early settlement.

On of the views of rolling countryside in Franschhoek.

The Huguenot Monument

Not only could you buy crocodile shoes and handbags you could pick up many different types of skins, we ate in the restaurant opposite twice and not once did we see anyone buy.

John would not let me take the teddy bear away so had to be content with a picture.

One of the many beautiful buildings in Franschhoek, just loved the mountains in the background and also the name of the town in the background.
