Sunset Gordensbay. 25/04/2010.
We spend Saturday and Sunday in Hermanus and took this picture on our way back. What a lovely day in the Cape. No cycling and colected my home trainer that I can start riding in the evenings in my flat. We went winetasting at Gabrielskloof and Wildekrans. Gabrielskloof has got a lovely Bordoux blend that should be very good to drink in a year or more. If you want to drink it now decant it and it should be very good. Wildekrans also had some brilliant reds and a very helpfull tasteroom attendant that knew her product very well. There Pinotage is just great. They also have a lovely Cab.Franc Merlot blend that is realy an easy drinker.

Wonderfull weekend.
What a good weekend so far. The Stormers won the Bulls lost and the Sharks won. Will try to go for a ride tomorrow. Shame poor Dick Muir. They still need to play the Bulls and that should keep them at the bottom.
House at Blaauwberg.
Went for an hours walk on Blaauwberg beach. Find this house that I took a pickture off in 1985. Bit neglected now but at that stage it was the only house there. Now it is surounded by plenty houses.What a beatiful morning it was. No wind and a very low tide. People taking out white mussels. Got home and made a nice veggie soup for lunch. Drank a very nice Shiraz from Elgin Valley Vineyards 2008 with it. What a good easy drinking wine. Ready for a snooze now.
