South Africa Day 4: Franschhoek and the Coast

Today I left the conference a bit early to go exploring.

I started with a brief walk around the conference center …

Jan Marais Nature Reserve, Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa

… and then we drove up to the nearby wine-country town of Franschhoek. We enjoyed a bit of shopping and lunch here. Friends of ours back in the States had spoken highly of this town and we see why.

From there, we decided to see if we could explore the coast a bit, so we drove an hour or so west to find this view of Cape Town’s famous Table Mountain:

You never know where you’ll wind up on a road trip with me. 😜
