South Africa #1

So as you can see I basically abandonned the blog for most of this year. I realize I should have taken it down, but I kept it up just for this reason! I finally have something exciting to blog about. I'm in South Africa!

I've been here for 4 days and so far the trip has been great. I met Kath in Capetown and did some touring around there for a few days. Yesterday we climbed Table Mountain and felt very fit. (Our driver Simon said it would take us 2 hours and it only took us an hour and fifteen minutes.)

Today we left Capetown and drove ourselves to Stellenbosch which is in wine country. It is a super cute little town and we are staying at a lovely guesthouse right between downtown and one of the main wineries called The Lanzerac (sp?) where Kath is attending a conference. We are planning to hike or ride some bikes or potentially some horses around the wineries tomorrow and then we have a night of wine tasting after that!

Sorry there aren't any pictures...I haven't actually remembered to take any yet. But don't worry, I promise to start taking some pictures tomorrow!
