Two weeks. Cape Town, the Garden Route, three nights in Kruger. The Big Five in 36 hours and the best chenin blanc of my life in a Stellenbosch barn with no roof.

Cape Town under Table Mountain feels staged, it is so beautiful. We dropped bags in De Waterkant and walked up into Bo-Kaap as the light went — every house a different impossible colour, the mountain going blue behind them.

The three-farms-no-more rule is correct. We tried four and the fourth was the worst.
