TOUR REPORT
The 8th of December was the chosen date for our
Mystery Venue tour– just before everyone
gets going with full Christmas preparations
and holidays.
Tableview passengers were the first to be
picked up followed by Constantia. We took
the Muizenberg beach road – always a
favorite of many……..it is just scenic and
beats traveling on the busy highways!
Our first stop was the
ROOT 44
market which is very festive just before
Christmas. A perfect place to stock up on
last minute Christmas gifts. It was
extremely hot in Stellenbosch and the
popular drink seemed to be ice slush – so
refreshing!!
We then headed over
Hellshoogte pass
to Franschhoek and our Mystery Venue which
happened to be Café
Bon Bon just east of the town.
This is in a perfect setting with majestic
mountains surrounding the venue.
Lunch was a choice of either Pork Belly,
Trout from the valley, Chicken Curry, or the
Chef’s Pot pie of the day followed by
desserts – the Lemon Meringue Pie took
everyone’s breath away! What a huge slice,
but I must say I didn’t see too much going
back to the kitchen!
A lucky ticket draw had 14 people going home with an
additional gift. Christmas crackers
completed the day and added to the
atmosphere.
When it was time to go back to Cape Town many felt that they
had not had enough of the day out –
certainly a compliment to those who
organized the day
Merry Christmas and every good wish to all
for 2014
