We had lunch at the Postcard Café on the winery grounds. Sali had a cheese assortment that looked much nicer than it does in this picture. I had Roast free range chicken thighs with tomato, black olives, artichokes and creamy Lowerland polenta. Mother had Teriyaki free range beef burger: Homemade sesame bun, pickles, tempura onion ring and hand-cut potato chips. The potato chips were thick slices of potato perfectly fried and delicious.
One of my favorite parts of lunch had nothing to do with the food. I constantly get to experience “five degrees of separation” and today I saw someone else experience it. Another guide walked up to our table and talked to Sali. Everywhere we’ve been on all our days, he’s known people, so this was no surprise. As they’re talking, the guide pointed out the window to a couple and the man had a big smile on his face and waved. It turned out, ten years ago, that man had been on a tour in Cape Town with his family when he was a teenager. Now he’s touring with his wife and he recognized Sali as they were walking the grounds and looked in the window.
