A weekend of celebrations

What a fantastic weekend!  A nice loooong weekend, with lots of friends and celebrations.  

Saturday we went to Stellenbosch for the day, Frannie had her birthday party at the Dornier Wine Estate at a fantastic restaurant called Bodega.  We had such a brilliant meal in the most beautiful setting!  
But before lunch we popped round to Kyburg to say hello to the Ruests and say our goodbyes to Debbie, Ken and the Kids.  Kyburg is the Ruests Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, it's a beautiful wine farm with an awesome wineland backdrop.  Check out the website:  www.kyburgwine.com

Yesterday we met up with Howie and ... wait for it .... his fiance Melissa!!!!!  Yip, they came to Cape Town for the weekend and Michael Howard popped the question!!!  Congratulations guys!!!  So yesterday we went out for a double celebration, their engagement and it was also Melissa's birthday!  When John told me they were staying at the Mount Nelson, I knew they were getting engaged, you only pull that card once ... as Matt would say!
So we went to Wakami in Mouille Point for cocktails, well Virgin for me, before taking them to our all time favorite, Chef Pons!
