Stellenbosch..Day 5

Leaving Cape town , we drove East towards our next destination, the town of Stellenbosch.  On the way we passed the huge township that stretched  for miles along the highway. 

We arrived in Stellenbosch and were met by Amanda, the property manager.  Our first task was to sign in at security by having our fingerprints  read and saved by a biometric scanner. This gave us entry to all doors.....eat your heart out Star Trek.












The view from our apartment looks out onto vast vineyards with a backdrop of a dramatic mountain range. One slight problem  was that the temps were hitting 40 degrees, so after a late brunch at the Open door cafe it was time to unpack , grab a shower and settle in.











In the early evening we took the chance to explore the old town, because of the heat  it was only wise to make regular  pitstops  to take on liquid refreshment, these included...Bootleggers,  The  happy Oak (where they sprayed mist over the punters ) and The Bohemia.
