A cooler morning today...about 21. We had another big breakfast around eight. We packed and were on the road to do wine tasting and to visit some sort of sex shop!!!! We will see how that goes.

It seems we didn't plan so well as most of the wineries close at 3 PM . We managed to hit two and bought two bottles of wine. One for $3.50 and the other $3.25......both pre-tasted and very good.

We saw two funeral processions, two weddings and a bachelor and bachelorette party today. I heard a band playing and though it was a parade. It was, except it was for a funeral.

The most fun today was the anticipation of going to Ronnie's Sex Shop! It turned out to be a bar. Apparently Ronnie was setting up a repair shop. His friends snuck in a night before he opened and wrote 'sex' after 'Ronnie'. So many people stopped by he ended up creating a beer joint. You have to see it to believe it. Bras and panties hanging from the ceiling. All the walls have writing on them. All the walls ... And ceilings. Someone hung a Canadian flag in 2009.

Not sure how it played out, but the crowd sitting outside engaged with us. Chris asked that they sing our national anthem . One guy said it is ...."Oh something, something". A better job then we would have done singing the South African anthem.

Shelly and Gina squeezed a guy's fake boob. It was his stag and he was wearing a diaper and asking patrons for donations. We obliged him. Canadian guys can feel relieved this isn't our custom.

Early to our accommodations, so we walked about 2 mks to go downtown for beer and an early dinner. A local white woman saw us, turned around in her car, and came back to offer to drive the girls first and then the boys....her vernacular. She thought maybe the girls would not want to walk by 'the coloureds'. We not not only passed them, Ralph gave a sucker to a baby who was crying hard in his Momma's arms. A big smile and almost a giggle when the sucker arrived.

Home to get settled, have a few drinks and to play On The Bus.
