Nate and Kara spend their last day in Cape Town spotting pirate ships at the film studios, then head to Stellenbosch where nothing goes as planned. They find the Slow Market instead, try ostrich pie and cheesecake, visit Spier winery for a chocolate-and-wine pairing, and navigate small car mishaps along the way.
Foreign.
Sadly, today is our last day in our awesome Airbnb here in Cape Town. We're leaving.
Pretty sure we just passed a pirate ship.
We're gonna try to find it. How can you pass up a pirate ship that's just sitting on the side of the road?
Nate turned on this random road and we're gonna go try to find it. Oh, private trespassers will be prosecuted.
We see the pirate ship. There it is.
There's three. There's tons of pirate ships.
What in the world?
Put your camera down. It says photography, not love.
Oh, we're breaking a lot of rules right now.
We're going to have to do some research and see what was filmed there. Cape Town Film Studios. Your destination is on the left.
Is that it? Yep, that's it.
Hey, how are you? I'm Nate. I'm George. Nice to meet you. We really messed up. We washed clothes yesterday afternoon, and they didn't dry at our last place, so we had to lay them out all over the bed before we go out to explore the wine country.
Kara's a little excited.
We just got checked into our hotel, and we are officially out in the Stellenbosch, and we're gonna go to the visitor center and see what they suggest. We might get some bikes, but we don't know yet.
No clue what today holds. It's beautiful, though. Should be fun.
Well, apparently the bike rental place is closed on the weekend. Time for plan B. Want to get a picnic lunch at a winery?
After some deep investigation and Googling, we've settled on the Hartenberg Winery. It has the best food.
Hopefully. Go check it out.
Hi. I was wondering if you're still serving your picnic lunches.
Plan C. Don't know what that is. Dang it. Not our day in the wine country. Look at all these police officers. At least that's not our day.
You're a terrible person for laughing at that joke.
You made the joke.
No answer.
So we finally decided on this one winery, and on our way there, we passed all these cars. So we looked it up, and it's called the Slow Market.
And we just feel like we have to go. So technically, we're on plan D right now.
Do I need to pay? This guy.
Can go park. Yes, thank you. Apparently not.
I just hope they have good food. I'm hungry.
You see anything about food on there?
Oh, we picked the right place.
Perfect.
So much food.
I think we came to the right place.
Plan D. Plan D for the win.
That's the sign I was looking for.
I am overwhelmed.
With decision, we're going to start with the bride, which I think is like anything cooked on the grill in South Africa.
We're just going to make our way down the line. What'd you get, Nate?
Steak sandwich.
Hope you enjoy.
We got a very hefty ostrich pie.
It's really soft. Like it's really mushy.
Like tender. So mushy.
Mushy.
Interesting.
Kind of tastes like a calzone.
An ostrich calzone. Can we do one of these?
One cheesecake?
Yes. And you like two?
Yes, please.
Is that a knife?
Cut it in half so she doesn't eat too much. My half.
That was a little bit of a stretch.
It was okay.
Everything looked a lot better than it tasted. And now since we're in the wine country, we're going to see if we can find winery tour.
I think that building right there that's like bricked up on the front is where the winery used to be. This day is slightly a disaster. Oh man.
Bummer.
Try to find another one. Yeah. At least there's a nice view from out here.
We found one that's open. We think we hope wine tasting this way.
Oh, that's what we should have done instead of biking.
Do you? Cuz it's open.
And the first one I'm pouring is an easy drinking dinner. Taj. The second one is going to be the Greater Block 3 and that is the great splendid.
Tissue rice.
First I have to get to know my wine.
Then.
Eat the chocolate.
There's been no prior drinking to this accent.
I forgot to get to know it before I swallowed it.
That is very nice. Now do I eat the chocolate or do I try the chocolate?
I eat the chocolate.
The first one is dark muffin chocolate.
Your accent is like spot on.
Really?
Yeah.
It helps that she just walked away and it's like fresh on my mind.
Lovely. Pairs perfectly with a shaman.
Well, we are back in the car leaving Spire. We had hoped to get in more than one like tour tasting today, but because of the unfortunate chain of events, it is now 5pm it seems like every other winery around here is closed. So we're calling it a day.
Gonna go find some pizza.
All right, well, we don't have a remote anymore because we turned it in for the Airbnb.
We're stuck. Help.
How do we get out?
Somebody open the door.
Dang it.
I shall be back.
Quickly. Somebody heard our distress calls.
Now we need the bar to go up.
Well, that's not good. Now I gotta reverse it.
Hurry.
What does sound.
Can we go.
Hold it up.
No, no.
Oh, yes. They saved it. Yes. We're getting out.
Move. Move.
Google Maps is telling us to turn left on this road.
Thanks, Google. Oh, gosh. Attack of the Clothes.
Put that in a dangerous location.
I thought it would drive faster.
That's how Kara feels all the time.
Must have. No, can't.
Gross.
Somebody has to drive today. $5 says she walks to the wrong car.
I'm now the winner of $5.
She wanted two wrong cars. Should have doubled down on.
