Jonkershoek.

---

After Kayamundi, we finally went to Jonkershoek. It was a long uphill bike ride. There were pretty big dark trees creating nice shade that allowed for mossy green vegetation. We had a picnic and then went into the park. It was a nice sunny day and inside the preserve there was a great view of the mountains. We went to Eeverste Waterval (first waterfall) and sat for a bit. Then we decided we were too tired to go the remaining 6 km to the second (tweede?) waterfall. Our ride back through the park was downhill and really bumpy. It was like mountain biking...except we had the wrong kind of bikes and no helmets.

We went to the Neil Ellis winery for a tasting on the way back. It was very pretty there was a beautiful lawn out front with a lake. The mountains were also visible and incredible as always.

That night was extremely sad...as I was leaving the next day. I didn't want to leave I had really come to like the area. His flatmates were all so friendly. I kept thinking that there was some way that I could stay and how romanitic that would be but I also knew that I had other adventures...like Australia in less than a week....
