Safari tents

. Wil was our driver.

So our first stop was Blauberg. We were able to take amazing pictures of Table Mountain and the bay. Blauberg was very windy! This was the place that Richard learnt how to kite-board. We stopped at the supermarket to stock up on food for the trip. It was Easter Sunday so most of the shops were closed.

Then we travelled to the Cederberg Mountains and put up our safari tents for the 1st time. The hostel where we were staying was set amongst vineyards. We had cold hotdogs for lunch and then did a small hike up the hill to view the vines.
