Waverley Hills Organic Wine Farm

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Friday, March 28, 2014, In : Out and about 
We had the pleasure of visiting Waverley Hills Organic Wine Farm, out in Tulbagh, on the long weekend.

What a beautiful place it was! Ample parking available and beautiful gardens, with water features with a cute little bridge awaits you...as you cross over the bridge you can look down on the rolling green hills that surround you out in the country.

Once you enter the building, the wine tasting, rest rooms and restaurant, all with the same magnificent views, are all within close vicinity to eac...

Kloofzicht Country Estate – Tulbagh

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Wednesday, March 26, 2014, In : Out and about 
We visited the Kloofzicht Country Estate in Tulbagh this past week-end.

The main house and loft are set in stunning gardens, with a very nice, large,well maintained pool.  

The loft is a beautiful old building, and everything was clean – the bed I slept on downstairs was very comfortable.
The kitchen was well-equipped but set out in a rather odd way to me, being used to 
the modern way of living where everything is built in.  But then this is a restored old country loft and is decorated accordi...

Tulbagh horse Trails

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Monday, March 24, 2014, In : Out and about 
Antionette of Tulbach horse trails was a pleasure to deal with.  She is organised but in a relaxed
manner. We received a sms in the morning confirming our ride.

The horses and Antionette were waiting to greet us when we arrived – and we were early.

The horses were wonderful, well taken care of – happy and extremely well-schooled.

The ride around the farm was enjoyed by all of us, the younger riders and older riders like me.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy a relaxed ride.

Such ...

What if I was a tourist on a My-Citi bus ......

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Thursday, March 13, 2014, In : What If 
Well if you were a tourist on the My-Citi bus this past week, on the Table View to Civic Centre Route :- 
The doors would not work because of the power failure.   You could not swipe your card either.

Even if the power was on, you would not know when the next bus was scheduled because the Timetable that should show the bus times – is not accurate – it says bus in station and there is no bus ?  Perhaps this is the schedule for the Phantom buses?

The bus would arrive from Table View side about...

What if …………………………

Posted by Dannielle Connections on Thursday, March 13, 2014, In : What If 
WHAT IF I wanted to assist the penguins – those wonderful little happy feet.
I contacted Australia and I contacted the local SANCOB.

I received a well written email – thanking me for my interest and supplying me with all the details, I had  requested from the Australian Centre.  They even gave advice on how I could help in my own country – and were only too happy for me to assist them even though they are the other side of the world.  I received this response within 12 hours of sending th...
