Join us on a trip to a market at a wine estate near the mountains!
It is Sunday and after church we usually stop off somewhere before heading home.
In this case we headed to the famous Lourensford Wine Estate as their Sunday Farmer's Market has opened again for the summer. The amazing thing is that their food is fresh, as the ingredients are sourced from the surrounding farm suppliers and a big plus is that they also grow their own food.
Let's have a look!
Right, here we are on our way early morning!
The first sight as we entered, small kids playing at some fountains!
It is hot today, but thankfully the wind is also driving clouds across the sun!
A beautiful ballerina figure of art on our walk into the market!
Here we are at the entrance to the market and the mountains form a lovely backdrop to the picture!
As you can see, the place gets very busy and the seating areas were crowded!
A local band was playing cover music of top hit songs!
A range of food stalls, local and international, occupy the sides and the back of the huge space under the roofs.
We bought this from an Italian stall and it's called "Piadina Wrap" Basically an Italian flat bread with a filling!
The locals call it the place of a thousand languages, as the place is swamped by tourists.
The market hums with foreign accents.
They also buy the wines that are produced here as gifts for friends in their home countries.
A wire ballerina sculpture that we saw on our way out!
Some youngsters were busy hooking up to a zip line for a ride between the high trees!
We also saw this hiking group of youngsters as we left the market.
Finally, just a show of the moon on the road back to our home!
And That's All Folk's!
