We awakened to fantastic weather and it didn’t let up for days and days. It’s mid fall here but it feels like late summer.
We found a group mountain bike tour for our first morning, and a group guided hike up Table Mountain for our second. We were the only people on them so we changed the bike route to go through town and end at a place with great mussels and oysters (Mussel Monger). Nice! We saw Equus that night; great!
Next day started early, for a 7am hike with Lynette. She too gave us lots of hints about what to do in South Africa. We saw Chicago that night, excellent.
After that, we finally got to sleep in, then a Stellenbosch wine festival at the V&A waterfront. I fell for a preposterous ruse (that our bus card required us to print something using the ATM, because it was Sunday!?!?) and my ATM card was stolen! But no money was lost and we were safe.
A drive down the cape, with a snack at Cape Point Vineyard. We may have eaten a bad oyster there and for the next several days had a lot of trouble. It wasn’t getting any better so eventually we started doxycycline.
