So much can happen on a 3 day roadtrip. It’s still in fragments. Wine tastings that started before breakfast. Washing down perfectly good Chenin to clear the toothpaste palate. Freezing my ass off behind a lonely Cradock mountain range. Monkey’s stealing croissants. Making up African sounding names for places out of sheer boredom. Ttsitsislange. Mapungunzinshololo. Hayboshlongwe. 7 and a half hours with a broken CD player can reveal true friendship. More Pinot Noir. Western style snake & baboon adventure stories by wine farmers featuring their favourite .38 special. Demolishing Bain-built mountain passes in Trokkie. Talking guy stuff. Girlfriends. iPhone GPS capabilities. Diff-lock. Dangerous things to mix with Klipdrift. Planning new adventures.
