Clare and Rich drink lots of wine and Clare meets a 60 year old version of herself

So yesterday we went wine tasting - after  Rich caught up on his sleep.  To summarise - it was brilliant.  For a more in depth discussion then it all started here...




Yes bored doe, there was also a wine called "goats do roam" (a pun on cotes du Rhone) - there were even roaming goats (unfortunately you will have to wait until we are home to see a photo of that).

So we went around 4 wineries and had around 30 tastings. Unfortunately our favourite wines were at the first place but we were being conservative and only bought 2 bottles - regrets. We toured a cellar etc.


Some wines I loved.


Some wine I didn't...


The whole day was brilliant and we met some hilarious archetypal Germans and Drunken Brits (one of whom was a 60 year old woman who Rich decided was me in 30 years - not amused). 

Then yesterday we drove 5 hrs to Outdshoorn - a town/ little city a few hours from the coast. We had an amazing drive - genuinely some of the most scenic views we have ever seen (no photos - sorry).  On arrival we ate ostrich, drank Amerula and then had to get to bed for a 4.45am start to go see some meerkat... (Me eating ostrich pasta... Night!) xx

  1. How were you still standing after 30 wine tastings - you didn't really spit the wine out did you?
