Typing Lessons

I really need to learn to type faster, even though I actually thought I was going quite fast, also the internet connection here is really not all that fast so I do loose time logging in etc...
Anyway, so at the wine tasting, we were able to taste 7 ines of the local winery, 2 whites, a Sav Blanc and a Chenin Blanc, 2 Reds, a South African variety, can't remember its name, and a Merlot, which was sensational, a Rose, which was so sweet, but still quite tasty, a sparkling Rose, which was similar to the flat Rose, and a Port, which taste a lot like medicine :( Aparently it had some local herb in it, which might explain that.

Anyway, the next day was our official last day :( And we only had a short drive down to Cape Town, through an amazing mountain pass. We arrived in Cape Town by about 11:30 and were promptly whisked off for a township tour. It was interesting to see the township, but at the same time I feel very uncomfortable doing tours like that where you just wander in and gawk at the way these people live, anyway as part of the tour we were taken to a local haunt for lunch which, like all our meals was sensational, and it was realy cool to just eat in a restaurant with the locals.

We also visited a local medicine man in the township (Langa) who was interesting, but his place was very creepy with all its skins and herbs handing from everywhere.
So from Langa we were taken to the hostel were our tour officially ended. Although we did have one final diner down at the Waterfront in Capetown at a Mexican Restaurant, where like every other person in South Africa, we were able to watch the Springbok's demolish Argentina in the Rugby to set up avery exciting final between England and South Africa (go the boks!!!!!) :)
