Stellenbosch

Here are a few pictures from Stellenbosch.  This beautiful town is filled with wine farms and the most alluring vineyards you will ever come across.  While spending time in this area, we went to Delheim for incredible views of the area.  Its really special with the mountains behind the vineyards.  This is a great place to stop for wine tasting and a delicious lunch.  It’s a very cute cottage styled wine farm which is different to the surrounding Cape Dutch style.  Personally, however, I think Cape Dutch cannot be beaten.  Another vineyard worth stopping at is Spier.  This is quite commercialised and gets rather busy so while I wouldn’t recommend wine tasting here, it’s worth stopping at for the cheetahs!  The one in this picture is an 8 month old cub and he’s already so big!  This little guy looks lazy but that look is deceiving – he runs 80km per hour.  As I was stroking him here he was purring just like my little cat.
