After a few days of safari in East Africa, we were looking forward to a slower pace of travel and some Rest and Relaxation.\u00a0 As we got to the last part of our African Adventure, I’m so glad we planned to spend some in Mont Rochelle Franschhoek, in the winelands near Cape Town, South Africa.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of Virgin Limited Edition, Sir Richard Branson’s collection of unique retreats and luxury hotels\u00a0Mont Rochelle Franschhoek\u00a0is a stunning property located in the most beautiful part of South Africa in the Western Cape.\u00a0 After dropping our daughter who was starting her 5-week internship at the Cape Town University we drove through the scenic wine country for a weekend of wine tasting and relaxing in Franschhoek. In the Afrikaans language, Franschhoek means ‘French corner’ which as the name suggests was once a French enclave and that it was the town reminded me of our trips to Napa Valley<\/a> and Provence, France<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
