First stop on our landie trial run was the whale-watching mecca, Hermanus. Uncle Phil was alert on duty even if others seemed to prefer beach chatter.
At the heart of our jaunt around the southern tip of Africa were formal and fabulous celebrations with all of Phil's close family at a private game reserve. After our fill of sparkling wine we lazed in the tiny Victoria Bay. Whales, seals and dolphins were of brief interest, but not before diving into fish and chips and watching the local surfers.
From the coast we turned inland, through ostrich country, and up and over the Swartzberg Pass. Not too painful, we rested in sleepy Prince Albert before our first taste of the desert: The Great Karoo. We swept on down the N1 and into the beautiful Breede river winelands.
Here we paused a short while to train our palate. Before heading to Stellenbosch for just one more quick tasting.
