So, we left Cape Town on the commuter train for Stellenbosch - the second oldest city in South Africa and home to the many wine estates South Africa is famous for. We have been here over a week now and I've been pretty ill the whole time. I got ill in Ghana and it seems like the tablets they gave me there did more damage than good...Anyway I saw a doctor yesterday and am taking anti-biotics for a kidney infection and E-Coli - nice... Its annoying because I really want to drink the wine here but I'm not allowed....
So, we are staying in the Stumble Inn - a backpacker place where I've met loads of interesting people....as I've been ill I've been there most of the time so know everyone its great! After a few days (before I got really bad) we hired bikes and cycled in the boiling hot heat around the wine estates looking for jobs....it was really spectacular and we saw ostriches which was exciting and also met some nice people at the wine farms...So, Nick is now working at the Irish pub in town whilst I get better....my job is to find us a flat and I think I found one today- its a young couple who have quite a large house and a little mini flat (i think it might have originally been a garage) ....its really small but has everything we need and a swimming pool!!?! So, hopefully moving in there tomorrow and we have a meeting with a guy at The Devon Valley Hotel for work in the restaurant - its on a wine estate and and views are amazing...So, fingers crossed it's all coming together for us if I can only get well soon so I can drink the gorgeous wine!
