Hermanus Backpackers

After the wine-tasting, we drove on to Hermanus on the coast for our last night of the tour. Again, we didn’t have any time to explore. We were staying in Hermanus Backpackers, a really comfortable hostel with a friendly host, Jackie. It felt like a place to return to if we ever get the chance!

Ivan surpassed himself for our last dinner! We had steaks, perfectly cooked on the barbecue by Ernest, served with rice, salad, and cheese-baked squash. We washed it down with Oddbins wine 🍷- how could we not buy it, seeing as I worked for a company of the same name for several years?! 😀

After dinner, there was load-shedding, so we sat chatting by candlelight, reminiscing about the highlights of what has been a fabulous trip overall. I didn’t sleep too well as there was a storm raging outside. Mark slept through it all as he had taken strong painkillers!Les mer
