Monday we went Wine Tasting in Stellenbosch, just outside Cape Town. The South African wine industry produces about 1,000,000,000 litres of wine annually. Stellenbosch is the primary location for viticulture and viticulture research. The day got off to a rocky start when our train was delayed an hour due to vandalism. But, fear not, I spent the time reading Dontevenreply.com to our group in a voice too loud to be socially acceptable.
When we eventually arrived in Stellenbosch to go bike touring/wine tasting, our day had to be significantly shortened. Yet, when we finally arrived at a place to just hang out, it was as if we were puppies let loose in piles and piles of kibble. We were so obnoxiously jolly and giddy, about nothing at all really…except for the fact that it was quite hot and we were all a bit tipsy and so excited to be in such a beautiful place. The pictures don’t do the moment justice.
It was a hilarious day, full of random bouts of laughter and a few spills (love you, Leigh). We saw beautiful landscapes and not so beautiful train stations, and in the end, all was still well with the world upon our return.
That evening we went to Cocoa Wah Wah, a café that gives internet vouchers upon any purchase, to upload pictures. With all of us sitting there, typing away on our Macs (sorry, Izzy), I felt like I was in Tisch Library again. I couldn’t help but smile out loud at that.
