Weekend away at Wolseley, Ceres and Tulbagh with Heather and Russell

A super weekend in the country with Russell and Heather.  

The Fynbos Farm was a wonderful place to connect with many beautiful animals and birds like donkeys, llamas, zebras, goats, pigs, rabbit, emus and peacocks. The owners, a very friendly gay couple, are very spiritual and have built a meditation chapel and a labyrinth. Walking the labyrinth was a very special experience, it really does quieten the mind.

On Saturday, Russell and I went to climb Matroosberg but we gave up after a couple of hours because of rain and wind.  We went to pick cherries in Ceres instead.

On Sunday, we went for a lovely swim in a local waterfall and then explored Tulbagh. The highlight was trying a local restaurant's very adventurous ice cream flavours like wasabi.

St James to Muizenberg walk

A brisk morning walk and an invigorating swim is always the perfect way to start the day. Jo and I joined Mandy and Wendy, Jo's regular walking partners in crime. The newly built huts at Muizenberg look spectacular.
