Day 5 - Friday - Head to Stellenbosch

Today we all drove about an hour out of Cape Town to a wine region called Stellenbosch. It was stunning.. Think "best parts of the highlands but with HEAT" and you'd be half way there.

We checked into our hotel. A rather ...er.. lets use the word "quaint" local place. Neil & Marc got a sweet room which was all littered with petals (ahhhh weddings huh..). Cameron & Nigel got the "studio" and i, of course got the Penthouse. This time though, it has to be said, for the first time in living history i actually asked for a downgrade!!. Yes it may have been called the penthouse but it kinda creeped me out. It was massive. Took up the whole top floor of one wing, had a 50' terrace, bedroom, 2 bathrooms, an office, kitchen.... sounds good so far?... it also felt like it hadn't had a guest in there since the last one perhaps died in it?.. There were still spectacles on the shelf, post it notes on the table, and a mouldy croissant in the cupboard. The others advised me to say something so i did and was promptly moved to a lovely room in the main old house :)
