Down the Garden Path
Our first couple of stops on the Garden route have been about wine and whales! I couldn't resist a second visit to Stellenbosh, with a stay at the humble Stumble Inn. The day started off with another wine tasting and cellar visit (of course) and finished with me shooting way too much jäger and dancing on a bar. It was my first official night "backpacking" so needless to say I woke up with my liver ...

Great White Sharks need I say more?
... are the three mountains which surround the area known as The Cape Town City Bowl, (Cape Town city centre).
It would be coach surfing at Matthias’ house and the shark company dropped me off at his front door. Now being that I haven’t really had much of an opportunity to party in a European style city since Naples, I did not have the correct attire. Tonight I would be meeting Suzanne the German film actress, so I had to make a quick trip into town, ...
