Hop on hop off bus in Cape Town, South Africa

After 9 days on Safari we went on to Cape Town for a week of beach and fun. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side it was cold, windy, and lots of rain for the first few days but we made the most of it.

  One of the best ways to get to know any city is to take one of the hip on hop off buses.

It's a wonderful way to see the sights of the city, while hearing about some of the history, and attractions the city has to offer. If you see a place you want to explore just hop off the bus, when your done you hop on another bus. We got a ticket that can be used for a few days allowing us to really get to know the Cape Town.
 One of the stops we got off was the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront for some shopping and lunch.

Since we had the pass for a few days we used the bus the next day to and went on their wine tour, which includes 3 wineries located in Cape Town, Groot Constantia, Eagle's Nest, and Beau Constantia.

Groot Constantia’s revered history tells us how a man’s love of wine established the first wine farm in South Africa. By going back 330 years, we come to understand how 891 morgen of land created the origins of the South African wine industry, and how every owner thereafter contributed to what we know as Groot Constantia today. - See more at: http://www.grootconstantia.co.za/our-story/groot-constantia-history/?id=8#sthash.LZAFVDEp.dpuf

 The first stop was Groot Constantia, which is one of the first or is the first winery of South Africa dating back 330 years ago.

It was a cold day and once again the rain started, so we took refuse in the Manor house for some wine and food at  Jonkershuis Restaurant.

We started with a some local cheeses and a nice bottle of Groot Constantia Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvigno

The food, the wine, and the atmosphere was just wonderful.

The weather did not was not cooperating so after lunch we skipped the rest of the tour and took an Uber back to our condo. Uber in Cape Town, how cool is that?
