Our cottage, Pear Tree cottage, was down a vineyard track and definitely not to be driven to in the dark. It is the green roof below
It had a bathroom but not a shower, however, there was an outside shower by the plunge pool.
This is the view from the shower and over the plunge pool , so we felt pretty safe from onlookers.
We went up to breakfast in the dining room
from which the view is
The restaurant is normally open only for lunch and so we went to reception to arrange for a platter of cheese in the evening. The receptionist asked if we knew that they would be serving dinner on this evening and that there was a jazz concert. We changed our plans on the spot and booked for the evening.
We returned to the cottage and sat on the terrace for a while, blogged and looking at photos
We wandered into Franshooek to look around. The town is very well presented and clearly up market and touristy with art shops, restaurants and B&Bs. It's not somewhere to do day-to-day shopping. There was also an open market of African Art stalls which although much cheaper than the shops, were devoid of shoppers, other than us. We bought yet another small stone statue.
The Town Hall
We had thought of doing some wine tasting, after lunch, but eventually decided just to have a lazy, relaxing day and sort out the cases ready for the following day. John wandered down to the dam below out cottage with his camera
There were lots of noisy Egyptian Geese
In the evening, we enjoyed a very good meal and some excellent wines made at La Petite Ferme while listening to the music.
