On Tuesday, after an early stop to get Covid tested for our flight home, we collected Kelly and got an Uber to nearby Franschoek for the highly regarded Wine Tram.
The setup for this wine lover's day out is that buses and a tram take you around to various wineries for visits, tastings, and lunch. Franschoek is a posh and beautiful little town, and is basically all wineries. We'd wanted to do the wine tram since we got there but never got around to making the arrangements. On this, our last day, we navigated the complicated schedule and made a plan.
We stopped at four wineries on our tour. Each one had breathtaking vistas.
We sampled a lot of wine.
Along the way, I finally sampled biltong. (Basically very high quality beef jerky.)
It was a great way to spend our last full day in Stellenbosch.
When the day was done, Cheryl focused on last minute shopping. Her favorite shop was this lady's. She sold African silk products in a small shop right next to our hotel in Stellenbosch, and would spend her days spinning and weaving the silk on the sidewalk outside.
This was our last night in Stellenbosch. It was a clear, starry night. This was the view outside our room.
We will miss this place.
