Though it was late afternoon upon arrival on Saturday, November 23, we took a taxi from our Lanzerac Hotel and went to the beautiful town of Stellenbosch with its Cape Town Architecture.
Come along with us...
This is the Rhenish Mission Church, The Braak, Stellenbosch.
Date built 1823, Front Wing 1840, just click on link for more info about this Cape Dutch style building.
This is the top photo that I used in the news paper: My South Africa Publication... see below post.

We did walk back to our hotel Lanzerac, in a bit over half an hour time.
We thoroughly enjoyed the view of Vineyards against the Helderberg Mountain.
Walking the famous Stellenbosch Wine Route...
What a perfect ending of a day... Going back to our hotel for dinner and calling it a day.
Thanks for your visit and stay tuned for Part IX
