[Murray & Rhonda on the road] Murray & Rhonda on the road - Storms River to Stellenbosch: but we really enjoyed it.  We booked a wine tour so that we did not have to drive and so visited 4 vinyards, tasting 5 wines at each as well as doing a cheese tasting and having an excellent lunch.  We were quite merry on our return - I think they make excellent reds but was not so convinced about teh whites.  although they grow lots of Sauvignon Blanc I think it is too hot to produce a really excellent example.  S.A is actually quite cheap to travel in as teh Rand is weak (about 15 to teh pound).  On our final night in Stellenbosh we had a very posh 2 course dinner and it seemed like alot of money ZAR 525 - but that is actually only 35 pounds, so a bargain.
