Cape Town and Franschhoek

February 1

First thing in the morning, we headed to Cape Town.  Tom "needed" to pick up more toys - especially the Zulu ebony club (used to kill animals).

Some of Tom's toys.

We then headed to Franschhoek which means French Corner.


Our first winery was Mont Rochelle.


Beautiful views...

The Huguenot Memorial - In 1688, the French Huguenots fleed from religious persecution in France.  Approximately 200 Huguenots arrived in the Cape of Good Hope.  They were assigned farms around Franschhoek where they planted vineyards.


We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Noop in Paarl.
