Water is a real shortage in Capetown. The situation has been very challenging for this city. It was suggested that we time our showers with a three minute egg timer which appears on the door of each of our showers. Amazing efforts have been put into effect to advert this crisis and the South Africans are gaining ground.

However, it did bring a chuckle to us as we entered a beautiful winery today and were greeted with the following sign…

It was a great day with drives to Stellenbosch where we enjoyed a wine tasting and toasted to dear friends at the Lanzerac Estate.

We then drove to the culinary and wine center of Franschhoek, South Africa

.

We finished up the afternoon with a final tasting at Fairview Winery near Paarl. They not only provided great wines but excellent cheeses for the pairings.

Of course…we also had to let the fun shopping begin. SO many options….of course, restraint was the order of the day…-:)!!!

A great last day in Capetown…tomorrow off to our first safari.
