today we decided to do something that everyone stays in Stellenbosch must do - wine tasting. we choose one of the wineyard that has free entrance fee and not too commercialized. wen decided for us to go to Neethlingshof Wineyard.

needless to say, every wine tastes bitter to me. lol
we then went to the wine shop.

we left Neethlingshof Wineyard quite early, we thought of dropping by at Mooiberge Winery And Distillery, which is actually more known as Mooiberge Strawberry Farm!

too bad the weather was too hot that day. we couldnt stand being under the sun even for 5 minutes! apatah lagi, plucking strawberries =S though it's very tempting to pluck as it is really cheap and you can actually fill the container with as much BIG BIG JUICY STRAWBERRIES as you can.
plucked and wrapped strawberries for sale
we choose to buy them anyway. couldnt resist! at least we have some fresh strawberries back!

before we went in, we said to ourselves, NO BUYING OF BOOKS. books are heavy and waste our luggage space! but in the end, mum bought a few books too. temptation is high there =.=''
then we went over to have a look at the souvenir shops.
