22 April 2015: - Our last day in Cape Town

We woke up to another perfect day in Cape Town and headed off to Groot Constantia after breakfast. What a beautiful drive it was.
Groot Constantia is the oldest wine estate in South Africa and a provincial heritage site in the suburb of Constantia in Cape Town"Groot" in Dutch and Afrikaans translates as "great" (as in large) in English.

Whilst on a cellar tour, we were exposed to the ins and outs of viticulture.  After the cellar tour our Belgian guests were treated to wine tasting while the Southdowns pupils were given some apple juice to enjoy. Conveniently we could get onto the hop on hop off bus on the Groot Constantia estate and we enjoyed a scenic drive to Camps Bay, our next stop.

What could be more enjoyable than lunch in Camps Bay with the tranquility of the mountains in the background and the breaking of the waves along the palm tree lined beach. 
Camps Bay
We left Cape Town with sad hearts and we would all like to return soon...
