This trip has been an unbelievable experience so far and we still have 3 and a half weeks left, i've met a lot of really cool people and have become really good friends with them. We are split up into 2 big groups, Springboks and Bafanas, and today we Bafanas went to the winery where we leanrned about the area and say how they made the different kinds of wines, we tasted a lot of wine and we also had a competition on who coud make the best tasting wine. We were in groups of 8 give or take a couple and we had to mix the different types of wines, such as merlot, cab, and four others. We had to right down the measurements of each type that we used to mix and we also had to name it, ours was called "Elephant Walk". After talking with the group we decided how much of each to mix into our bottle and w gave it to the judges, they tasted every groups wine and talked it over for about 10 or 15 minutes and came out and told us the winner, my group ended up winning because we are just awesome wine makers. The prize we won was an entire case of the winery's "Gentle Giant" red wine which we had already gotten to try a bottle of and it was really good. Rob, the guy who owned the winery was a moster of a man, 6ft 6in and 300 lbs, and he was a MMA fighter and you would never know that unless he told you because he doesnt look like it at all really. He was very nice and told us some pretty cool things and also showed us his gym which he trains his students MMA and also trains himself and it was a pretty nice gym.
