First over 30km ride for Diana

We did a lovely 42 km ride this morning with our mountain bikes. Got up early and rode out on the main road to Melkbos and turned back at the traffic light and then went into the city on the cycle lane and back to Blaauberg again. Got home before the wind has started. What a great ride. Diana's first 42km ride and enjoyed it . Now time for a cold Windhoek. Diana was dying for a cup of coffee , 2 cups later she was ok. Woollies expresso beans. Need to service her car now and then watch the Moto GP. Diana in her Quickstep shirt.

Wine tasting Ernie Els.

Tasting at Yonder Hill with the wine maker. They are now open on Saturdays.

Ernie Els lovely wines and good lunch. Annandale has an old slave bell and very good wines from Hempies du Toit and very old tasting room. Really a step back in history but great wines. Ring bell to bring tasting staff to room. Really worth a visit if you are serious about wine.
