The flight to South Africa was very pleasant. We slept very well in the plane and we did not have much wait time.So we arrived in Capetown refreshed. We picked up our car in the airport and drove out. It took us just about 30 minutes to reach our hotel, The Asara at Stellenbosch. Being in the wine country, we decided to stay in a wine estate which is a Chateau et Relais hotel. It is very nice and check in was a breeze with a pleasant glass of sparkling wine from the estate itself.
We cleaned up and immediately drove out to Stellenbosch to have a sense of where we are. Stellenbosch is a university town and it is a beautiful place. We walked around and got engaged in one of the stores where local women were weaving silk. We learned much about what they're doing and got a souvenir that the women just finished the day before. Satisfied that the place is interesting, we went back to our hotel where we had a very tasty dinner of springbok and Kudo with wines from the estate. My appetizer was something special:snails on bone marrow. It was delicious!
