Dec 2011 Holidays Part 3

The last part of our holiday was spent with Christina's family at Amathunzi Nature Reserve just outside Robertson. We rented a big house that could easily accommodate 9 adults and 6 kids and with spectacular views over the mountains and a wild life watering hole. Every afternoon a number of Zebras would come right up to the house to graze on the lawn. It was a very relaxing place to unwind, read books, hike and swim. Zack wanted to swim at least 3 times every day and enjoys being thrown up into the air to make cannon balls. Amathunzi is also conveniently located near one of the lesser traveled Robertson / Klein Karoo wine regions of South Africa. We visited Springfield, Kranskop, Excelsior and Viljoensdrift wineries. At Viljoensdrift we took a boat cruise down the Breede River. Other highlights were visits to the quint towns of MacGreggor and Montagu, and Gavin and Willem got to play a round of golf at Silwerstrand/Robertson golf course.
