Part VII - Lanzerac Hotel in Stellenbosch, South Africa

Saturday, November 23 of 1985, we could sleep in till 10:00...
We packed our suitcases and even enjoyed sun-tanning for half an hour.
By 13:00 Colin Jacobson came to pick us up for dropping us off at the Jan Smuts airport of Joburg.
We flew to Cape Town at 14:30 and arrived by 16:30.
Tim Crawley from Medallion Mushrooms picked us up and dropped us off at the Lanzerac Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
We admire our new surroundings and are happy with an afternoon off.
These photos with us in them, are actually taken on Sunday morning...
We are standing in front of an old wooden wine press!
The driveway leading to the Lanzerac Wine Estate with in the back Jonkershoek Mountain.
Such beautiful surroundings of Lanzarac Hotel.
Photo taken from the other side with us standing next to the old wooden wine press.
 This is interesting to read for Dutch speaking as it is in Afrikaans
In Afrikaans from November 1985...

Next we take a taxi to the town of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape Province...



Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for Part VIII

    Dear Mariette - We too enjoyed the Stellenbosch area surrounded by those majestic mountains. What could be better than being entertained outside along accompanied by wonderful food and a glass of their delicious local wine.

    Hello Mariette, That old press looks so amazing and is so huge! I really like it when historical sites have old machinery set up.

    It must be enjoyable to look back at such interesting places you have been. The grounds of that place are beautiful and I like the architecture. Vrolijk Kerstfeest.
