The market and the winery

We slept a bit later today. Till 9 o'clock! Late morning we drove to the market.

"Going down".

The market is in China town.

It gets pretty busy.

We planned to check on the boxes that we still haven't unpacked. But the weather was so lovely that all of the sudden we felt like going to the Uleybury winery!

They make really nice wines. So nice that even ~I~ drink them... Well, it's a rosé really.

They had a new menu and a new chef. Oh - my - god...

My starter was ravioli with a rabbit filling. What a winner. Five pieces is a perfect entrée.

My main was chicken breast filled with spinach and feta cheese and sauteed carrot, peas, onion and roasted potato. It was sensational. The chicken was so juicy and the spinach was so fresh.

Then we waited a bit and sat in the sun enjoying the silence and the wind blowing through the trees. Oh, it wasn't quiet when one of the trees decided to drop one of its branches though. That was a bit exciting. It cracked like lightning.

My desert. Those chocolates were delightful, they had a hint of port inside and they were home made by the new chef. They were the size of sugar cubes.

Then we just hung around a bit, looking at the beautiful hills.

Then sun started setting and we drove home to feed the birds.

It was a most beautiful and well spent day.
