A wonderful finale to wine country!

Our final day in the winelands, we hit Backsberg (one of the few totally "green" wineries in the world) as well as a great cheese farm which made the makings of a perfect picnic lunch.  For our final night in the winelands, we thought we'd book a night in a farmhouse and boy, did we happen upon a good one.  We stayed with Maike and Jonathan at Hawksmoor House.  Built in the 1700s, it has been beautifully restored and we enjoyed beautiful views of Table Mountain and a stunning sunset - of course alongside a bottle of Hawksmoor wine which was equally lovely!  Cosmo and Max were the dogs of the house that also kept us company during our stay - even took them for a walk in the morning. 

What a wonderful final night in the winelands.  Maike was a gem and it was great to chat with her during our stay as were the ladies helping her out at the house.

Enjoyed a visit to an acclaimed cheese farm (they make wine too!) - Fairview Estate. The best part was the tower made specifically for the goats!

We are off for a three day safari at a game reserve in Kruger National Park early tomorrow.  Very excited about this! 

We'll catch up when we return to our home away from home (18 on Crox that is).
