Stellenbosch

Tuesday 20th April 2010

The weather was again bad in the morning and we decided against a tour of a rasta village and township. We watched the news which was dominated by the travel chaos, and got the BazBus at 12:30pm. At Wilderness, we stopped and got a great view of the beach:



We had a long afternoon in store, our destination was Stellenbosch. The driver put on a movie called New in Town with Renee Zellweger. This was oddly the second time I have seen this film whilst in transit, the other time being on a plane home from Egypt last year.

After a transfer and short bus ride we arrived at the Stumble Inn in Stellenbosch, which appears to be a student town mainly. The hostel is busy and noisy, serving as a base for our wine land tour tomorrow.

I persuaded Karen that we should go out for a drink and so we walked to a bar which was extremely studenty and altogether western before returning home. It felt strange to walk around at night. I hadn't done this for so long but Stellenbosch is a safe town.

Although I'm excited to be going home, I am also excited about going back to Cape Town, doing a wine tour and seeing the people I met there.
