We
bought some yummy looking Karoo lamb chops and were soon back on the
road. Stopped at the BoPlaas wine estate, famous for it's port selection
and if you know us well, you'll know that can only spell trouble. We
were in there for hours sampling ALL the port. In fact, we've ordered a
case of the best for our wedding. Leon, who runs the tasting is
hilarious. When we told him of our mission through Africa, he replied, "Man,
are you guys crazy? Don't you watch the Discovery channel??" After
our 75th port, it was getting late and we needed somewhere to stay. Leon
told us of a secret spot down by the river. However, just as we lit the
braai, we were approached by Pieter, the owner of the "spot by the
river." He seemed somewhat befuddled as to why we had set up camp "in
his front garden" However, the moment he found out about our trip
through Africa, he seemed honoured to have us to stay and welcomed us
with open arms. The Karoo Lamb chops we cooked on the braai that night
were without a doubt, the most delicious chops I have ever eaten! Sure
wish we had bought more. After several glasses (ok, mugs!) of port and
chunks of cheese, we fell asleep to scary baboon noises echoing of the
cliffs. |
