Wine, Wine, and More Wine

We drove into Stellenbosch after checking out of our hostel in Cape Town. After dropping our bags off, we decided to walk around and explore. We hadn't done much research but we knew we needed to get some wine immediately. Read more...

This post should really be dedicated to Chase Mullen and his fabulous photography skills. When I mentioned heading to Cape Town, everyone that I asked for recommendations RAVED about the Saturday market at the Old Biscuit Mill. Unfortunately, we had planned on being in Stellenbosch on our only Saturday in Cape Town. After some quick discussions, we decided it would be worth piling in the stupid little Hyundai and heading back into Cape Town just for the morning. After waking up early and heading in, we arrived at the Saturday Neighbourgoods Market. At this point, my camera went away and I just walked around with my wallet full and my stomach empty. When leaving, my hands were full of goodies and my stomach was full of delicious food. So, without Chase, this post would not exist as I took approximately two photos all day. Read More...

He proceeded to tell us all about his life and his lovely family. he was thrilled to be picking up Cheryl and Chase and proceeded to wax poetic about married life. But, when he started talking about Cheryl birthing their first child and her changing body, things got a bit weird; as the token single friend, I sat quietly in the back and tried not to laugh. We soon pulled up to our hostel, which at around 9 PM, was completed packed. Little did we know, there was an adjoining bar- which was bumpin. I rolled my suitcase through the drunken crowds to check in. We got into our room with two bunk beds (cozy!) and quickly went to sleep. Read More...
