OLIVE FESTIVAL
1st May 2010

Saturday 1st May  saw us heading for Riebeek Kesteel for their 10th annual Olive Festival - this being the 5th one that Traveltime has arranged. Everyone on the coach was in a festive mood ready to celebrate the day out.  Temperatures soared - wow where is autumn?

Everyone got off the coach at Kloovenburg which was  about 2km from the town centre. Two pretty young girls promoting olives at Kloovenburg. Wine tasting at 10.45 on a Saturday morning - life is good! 

Brigitte and Margaret were so very pleased with their delicious bread purchased and the mussels and brown bread provided the ideal fill-me-up so early in the morning. Where should we go next - Jenny, Caroline and Denise are saying!

Alice and Anne checked the map and were 'raring to go' on to Riebeek West. Marie chats to Ronnie in the cellar at Kloovenberg and seems to be asking "how do you like my new ear rings?"

Be careful now how you handle the little puppy was the advice given to this little cutie! It was then time to move on and Ronnie was spotted taking a breather on the long walk up the hill.  Heather and Marie look back to gauge the distance they've climbed.

Cafe Felix - a wonderful oasis  - time to sit, rest and enjoy a super Mediterranean lunch.  Theresa looked the part completely, even if her panama hat cost her an arm & leg!

The music provided was so soothing - can't say the same for the desserts - 'hang it on the hips' sort of stuff.  Chocolate mousse, rice pudding and lemon tart - absolutely delicious.

This attractive lady was making a delicious hungarian type 'pizza' - Flamkuchen - very thin base with créme fraiche, spicy sausage, spring onions and baked in a very hot oven.  What a treat.  The right hand photo proves that the Panama hat salesman did brisk trade today!!
A festive day enjoyed by many in perfect weather.
