South Africa🇿🇦Week 2

On Sunday, we are heading towards Stellenbosch, to the Blaauwklippen Winery.

There is always a food market there on Sundays. It's only 65 km from here, but it takes 1.5 hours to get there.

The food market with live music is quite nice, but we decide to return to the Spier Winery instead.

We simply like it best here.

Along the False Bay, once again fantastic colors.

In the evening, I finally jump into the sea.

Fishermen's Beach is practically around the corner, and according to our landlord, there are no dangerous sharks here. They are supposedly eaten by the orcas, but they only consume the sharks' livers. Apparently, there are still groups of orcas off the Cape.

The water here is 6 degrees warmer than on the other side of the Cape, so it's very pleasant and super clear. However, it’s still too cold for Jürgen.

Unfortunately, this week there is a lot of work waiting for me, and aside from a walk to Windmill Beach, there isn't much time this week.

However, it is extremely stormy these days, and on Thursday it even rains. In the evening, we are going to Cape Point Vineyards for the Thursday food market despite the mediocre weather.

However, it is quite crowded, and the grass is still wet, so after eating we head back home. On Friday, we have golf tee time at the Belleville Golf Club. We play a fun 18-hole round with Ingrid from Sweden and Bill from Ireland.

Originally, we wanted to go to the country club today, but returning through Cape Town has quite a lot of traffic, and it gets too late.

On Saturday morning, we head to Kalk Bay. It's already chaotic there in the morning. Kalk Bay is a nice little place but quite overcrowded.

On the way back, we make a stop in Simon's Town.

Here it is quieter, and after having coffee at the deli, we spend the day by the pool and go swimming in the sea in the evening. Hey, Jürgen is going into the sea!!!

In the evening, we spot a whale from our terrace 🐳

On Sunday, we are going to check out optional accommodations in Gordons Bay and Somerset West.

On the way back, we are stuck in traffic in Kalk Bay again. It's chaos here on the weekends. Again, a wonderful day with great weather. Tomorrow begins my last work week, and then I'll soon be on vacation.
