Montagu

Friday the gardeners arrived! We packed up and said goodbye to Cape Town and Colin’s lovely house. The weather was cloudy but improved. We drove via Stellenbosch to Franschhoek where we visited the interesting Huguenot museum and memorial. Then it was a fantastic drive over the Franschhoek pass and nearly to Worcester. We had our picnic with stunning mountain views. Then we arrived at Robertson where we bought wine and on to McGregor a picturesque village. We had tea and peach tart and ice cream there. Back to Robertson, through Ashton and a wonderful valley to Montagu. The Airlies guest house has lots of original features including bath and wardrobe with trunk on top of it. We drove to the hot springs but were unimpressed so came back for a lovely dinner at the Magic Tin where we saw the microbrewery next to guest house and enjoyed wine on our balcony. There is a pool here but it’s not  warm enough to swim.
