Woke to a beautiful morning overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Had a leisurely breakfast and drove to Vredendal to stock up. Found everything we needed and were generally pleasantly surprised with the place.
We then headed off to Namaqua wine co-op just outside town but found it closed. There was a sign saying tasting at Spruitdrift on Saturday. We found it and had a wonderful wine tasting followed by a really lovely lunch. They even cater for kids tasting with grape juice pairing with jellytots!!
Purchased lots of wine and brandy and then drove on to the camp in Vanrhynsdorp ..thank goodness, not too far!!
It is choc-o-block and got the third to last site. We have not experienced this so far. Everyone is here for the flowers and are very friendly. A felllow camper has just come across and given me a jar of preserved peaches from her farm..how kind.
I am sure Vanrhynsdorp doesn't normally have this many visitors during the year! (R95pp)
If we pass Vredendal on a Friday on the way back, we will place a large order as you get 20% off your wine purchases!!




Hi guys, looks amazing. I just hope we get a show of flowers when we get down there in two weeks. Apparently they were incredible in Springbok this past week. You certainly are having a wonderful retirement xx
