Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-10-10/2009-10-11 - there and back again
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-10-102009-10-11-there-and-back.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-10-10/2009-10-11 - there and back again. After the wine tastings, we went back to the apartment to collect our stuff and say goodbye to our hosts. The water had returned and we got the offer to shower in their house, but we decided it would be best to get to the airport early and just shower there. So we went to the lounge right away, and got into the shower. Aaaah, precious shower! Yeah, that's right. So we had to do a lot of sprinting. Fortunate...Our l...

Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-10-05 - Close Encounters of the Penguiny Kind
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-10-05-close-encounters-of-penguiny.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-10-05 - Close Encounters of the Penguiny Kind. We had been looking at the weather forecast for the week, and it looked kind of dismal (forecasted rain) for Wednesday and Thursday. So we decided we had better go to Simonstown to see the penguins while the weather was still good. Droewoers, and tortilla chips to snack on, and drove back to Stellenbosch.

Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-10-09 - the last full day
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-10-09-last-full-day.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-10-09 - the last full day. This blog entry is what happens when we don't write the darn thing right away, and instead write it several weeks later, when we've forgotten everything! When we were done, we drove to Signal Hill. Oh, and while we were up there, we heard the Noon Gun. And one other place (don't remember what), but they were both closed. hmmf. We eventually found a farm called Somerbosch. After lunch, we did a wine tasting at Kleine Zalze. Aka M...

Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-10-03 - wine is best when shared with friends
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-03-10-wine-is-best-when-shared.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-10-03 - wine is best when shared with friends. Our first destination was Alto. They had some really nice reds. Our tasting companions bought a bottle here. Next up was Bilton, just a few hundred meters down the road. This is a small winery with a range of some really impressing red wines. We ended up buying two yummy wines there - the Bilton Shiraz 2005 and the Bilton Sir Percy Classic Blend 2005. The restaurant was full, so we had to wait for a table....

Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-10-06 - waddling from winery to winery
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-10-06-waddling-from-winery-to.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-10-06 - waddling from winery to winery. The weather was cool and drizzly; not a bad day for a walk. However, the farmers were very stressed. Farm workers were frantically spraying the vines with an anti-fungal substance (sulphur with an organic resin as binding agent). We also saw a bunch of Sauvignon blanc vines where the leaves had been attacked by disease - a disaster for the crop. Anli knew this beforehand so she somehow or other arranged for this lit...

Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-09-28 – spit or swallow?
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-09-28-spit-or-swallow.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-09-28 – spit or swallow? I forgot to add the disclaimer for the past few posts. Photos will come later, and some content may be edited. We're also doing a mass posting now, since we've been without the InterTubes since leaving Wild Spirit Lodge (we're in Stellenbosch now). Yes, there were lots of empty glasses to wash from last night ;-). That was extremely friendly and wanted everyone's attention. Lagt inn av Cynthia and Alvin. Aka Ms. and Mr. Pe...2009-...

Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-10-08 - penguins need cuddles too!
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-10-08-penguins-need-cuddles-too.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-10-08 - penguins need cuddles too! When Ms. Penguin read her e-mail this morning, she got a mail from SANCCOB asking if it were possible to do the scheduled tour today instead of Friday. We had no plans for the day other than being lazy around Stellenbosch, so we arranged for a time for the tour, and headed out to Table View, where SANCCOB is located. Penguins are surprisingly soft, except for the wings, which are hard and bristly. The feathers...Rocky i...

Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-10-03 - the fountain of Ms. Penguin
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-03-10-fountain-of-ms-penguin.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-10-03 - the fountain of Ms. Penguin. And no, it's not the fountain of youth kind of thing. Ms Penguin is really starting to hate fancy schmancy places. When she goes bush camping, where there are no modern facilities and questionable hygienic conditions at times, she stays perfectly healthy. When she goes to fancy places, well. She was feeling quite bad about not being very social. Not a good combination at all. Ugh ugh ugh. Lagt inn av Cynthia and Alvin.

Itchy webbed feet...: 2009-10-01 – Mini Bobble almost subject to cannibalism
http://itchywebbedfeet.blogspot.com/2009/10/2009-01-10-mini-bobble-almost-subject.html
Waddling the world for that perfect scratch! 2009-10-01 – Mini Bobble almost subject to cannibalism. Mini Bobble is still a bit traumatized from the incident. Oh, and we ended up not having lunch at Spier. The restaurant was only doing a buffet and we weren't hungry enough for it. The deli was too busy. So we ended up going to Hudson's at Vredenheim Wine Estate, for a Cape Malay curry. Yum. We have been to this place before; they have a very lovely picnic garden.
