my pampered weekend began upon arrival to the airport as Michael (Amy's friend we were staying with) sent his personal driver, Howard, to pick me up. Howard tried to show me the sights on the way but being as it was midnight and pitch black outside did not allow him much of a role to play as the tour guide.
Many sentences began "and to the left, if you could see in the dark you would see...." I met michael and amy at the house and then we all crashed. The next day Michael took us on a roadtrip in his convertable BMW and whisked us up the Stellenbosch wine routes 
where we met several of his friends and had lunch. (our waitor enjoyed changing his accents to which we found out later he had actually lived in texas and had visited tyler, texas.

and mooore driving to which about ten minutes past driving past here we realized we were lost... great view to see if you had to be lost though i must say!
A couple petrol stations and slight back tracking later we were on our way and made it back just in the nick of time! Michael had bought us tickets to see Sir Ian Mckellen (aka Gandalf ) play in "waiting for Godot" - He was brilliant.

Waiting for Godot (pronounced /ˈɡɒdoʊ/) is an absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait for someone named Godot. Godot's absence, as well as numerous other aspects of the play, have led to many different interpretations since the play's premiere. The play is considered by some critics to be one of the most prominent works of the "Theatre of the Absurd".
All of which led to several evening challenges including the milk challenge and the banana eating contest -
good job michael! 2 bananas in 1 minute.
