There is so much to do in South Africa that often it is hard to fit in the Winelands. We decided to take a day and tour as well as spend the night at La Residence. It was a day and night to remember. The country side is beautiful. There are are vineyards and a winery at every turn in the road. The restaurants are amazing not just for their food quality which is excellent but also for their beauty and the vistas that you can enjoy while dining. The small towns have everything from boutiques to African craft street markets. I am so glad that we took this time to really explore and enjoy a new region. It just adds another amazing layer to this country.
One of the things we did was to visit a cheetah rescue center. It is an opportunity to get up close and personal with a cheetah. It was a great experience to pat a living cheetah but I have to say that since we had such amazing game viewing in the bush the thrill was diminished since these cheetahs are in captivity. The bush is the best game experience.
To complete the history lesson we started yesterday we saw the prison where Nelson Mandela walked to freedom. This was a moving sight.
