Bastille Day festival in Franschoek



What a great day yesterday! We spent the afternoon in Franschoek sampling great food and wine. We thought that the entertainment wasn’t as good as a few years ago (we missed the Cape Minstrels) but the wine (as ever) was superb, and the food (crepes, mussels, oysters, cheeses etc etc) really did justice to the wine estates and restaurants of this beautiful french town in the heart of the Western Cape winelands. The weather was sunny blue skies and temperature of 26C/ 77F (not bad for our winter!!!). And everyone was so friendly (except for the person who walked off with one of our purchases when we sat down for a coffee).
