Stellenbosch

We had planned on going on a wine tour for the day with the group but decided against it since Lou had been sick the previous day so spent the day around this beautiful town. There are so many bars, restaurants and coffee shops so had to sample some of them. We got invited into a coffee shop's roasting room to see how they roast their beans daily. The town has 12,000 students at a university there and is quite lively. The houses, shops and cafes give it a lovely European feel but are much cheaper than any where in Europe. Once our group were back we had a transfer to Cape Town for our official last night of our 75 night tour. The majority of us went out and had a really nice meal in a local restaurant before staying in a hostel directly in the shadow of Table Mountain.Read more
