RE: A Visit to Nitida Wine Farm in the Durbanville Area, Cape Town.

Such a lovely day out.
Great detailed post. It is also lovely to see the two of you 😊
A shame the restaurant was full and you had to look else where.
For sure a nice start of being in Cape town.
So nice to see a bit of the vineyard. The canon station is a cool addition to visit, very well sign posted with loads of information.
Have a wonderful Thursday

Thank you, @littlebee4! I do appreciate your feedback!

Yes, unfortunately the restaurant was full, but we moved on and everything turned out well! We had an awesome time! If it didn't happen, who knows, maybe I wouldn't have found the Cannon Station...lol!

I thought that part of our history would also interest you, especially the part of the cannon signal as it particularly involve the Dutch part of our history here in South Africa!

You must have a lovely Thursday too!

You are so welcome 🤗
Yes, you are right… one little change, changed the day and you did see things you would not have seen.

It did as we never had anything in school about it. It is great to know more. Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you so much, enjoy your Friday 😊

Then I'm really glad I could share it with you! I thought it would be taught in your schools, as the Dutch nation played a huge part in South Africa in those years... For us, it all started with Jan van Riebeeck coming ashore in South Africa in 1652 (in the Cape specifically).

Strange right, we didn’t learn about it in school.
It is long ago and it changed a lot / influenced all.
Have a wonderful Friday 😊
