Azille had invited us to go wine tasting with her, her husband Ernie and their friends. It cost R40 for wine tasting and biltong which is about £2. We had 5 different wines and 3 different types of biltong. It was really nice and the sun was shining. We then went off to another wine farm and paid R20 for 6 different tastings. Again very nice, I don't really drink wine back home, Tina's not a big fan and I know if I open a bottle I'd probably end up finishing it. It was really relaxed and chilled out and we had a good laugh. Specially as the alcohol flowed, they even laughed at some of my jokes and nobody laughs at my jokes. We bought some wine and headed off to our 3rd wine farm. The tasting had finished here by the time we had got there so we sat down and had food. It was the same place Azille and her husband got married. Azille then invited us back to hers, off we went with full stomachs and slightly more tipsy compared to when we started. We picked up some beers and bits then headed back to Azilles, Harry helped prepare a stew type meal, called a potjie. You put meat, we had springbok, potatoes and some veg in an iron pot and then put it over a fire. It took quite a while to do but we were being entertained by the dogs. Azille has 2 and her friend had 3, all very lively and wanting cuddles and fuss. Supper was finished and it tasted really good, it's a traditional South African dish apparently. We have had South African potjie, wine, biltong and brandy and sat in a bakkie today. So a very South African day.
So dankie Azille today was lekker.
