Cape Town, South Africa Day #2

Day #2 here and we rode the bus around Table Mountain and into the wine country. Here some of the oldest vines in the country were planted and we enjoyed a nice wine tasting and cheese plate (or two) at the Eagle's Nest Vineyard. Later that night we stumbled across a restaurant named Marco's which was a cross between a local hangout with great African music and dancing with a little show for the tourist as seen in there menu with such delicacies as Worms, Warthog, Springboik and Ostrich Carpaccio and the Serengeti Platter. Of course Jeff had to order some and I had a bite of them all to say we did it. We really had a great time and even though we didn't really feel safe walking back through the downtown late at night the city was not any more threatening then any other big city in the world despite the reputation for crime that South Africa has developed.
By the way, if you ever come here, you don't need to eat the worms. They are not very tasty as you can see from my face. :-)Read more
