The Kappes’ Arrive in Cape Town

March 30

My parents, brothers, and aunt arrived on Friday, March 30^th in our rented mini-bus that we’d be driving around in. When they got to my house, we unloaded their stuff and then took off to Long Street for some lunch and shopping.

We went to Mr. Pickwick’s for burgers and milkshakes first, and then went to Green Market Square. Quickly everyone learned to bargain and we directly added a large amount to the economy in Cape Town with all the souvenirs we bought. We walked around Long Street for a little bit and then were off to Stellenbosch for some wine tasting. 

 We looked at the cheetah sanctuary for awhile, but we didn’t go in to pet them because it was super tourist-y and you just basically posed for a picture.

 

We then went and tasted some wine inside! None of us like red so we went through pretty much every white wine, each just being slightly worst then the first (Sorry, Moyo, really not a fan of your wine).

Then we headed back to where I live and stopped for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in Observatory, Gypsy. Afterwards we picked up Isabel and headed to Betty’s Bay where we stayed for a couple nights. It was a very small town on the coast past Gordon’s Bay but our house was right on the water and was really nice. We called it a night so we could get up early for Old Biscuit Mill!
