Cape Town Part III

On Monday February 29th, my last full day in Cape Town, several friends and I drove to Stellenbosch. Stellenbosch is South African wine country and it was beautiful!

Five of us rented the car you can see below and drove for the day. Our gas mileage was great ;-)

This photo shows, among other things, how dry it has been in Stellenbosch. Notice the brown grass and the drained irrigation pool (right), next to the green vines (left).

This is a barn at the first vineyard we visited. Vats of wine are cured and stored inside.


A view of vines and mountains from the first vineyard. This was a smaller operation--notice that the vines are more brown than those in the first picture.
