South African Wines and the Tambourine player!






After getting Carolyn acquainted to South African time, and getting her introduced to that famous Cape Town weather, we ventured out to check out some of the local wineries in the Western Cape. Our guide Robbie, was wonderful in getting us from winery to winery and giving us plenty of information on wine and wine growing in the Cape. The wines were really tasty and typically South African.

All in all, we went to 4 different wineries and tasted about 6 or 7 wines at each winery. So, we were feeling no pain that afternoon when we got dropped off on Long Street. We killed an hour or so and then found our way to Cafe Mojito for the 5-6pm R13.50 (aka <$2) cocktail special. That, of course, led to dinner and more drinks and then out to The Dubliner for more......wait for it........more drinks!

Before I knew it, I had a full blown tambourine player on my hands! Rockin out, dancin up a storm, and generally 'owning the crowd.' Our little tambourine player had quite the night and everyone enjoyed her 'mad skillz,' but she paid the price in the morning.

More later.....

Love, peace, and soul.
