\n2012<\/div>\n

The first weekend of May was the annual olive festival in Riebeek Kasteel & Riebeek West. While my mom and I have been to the Riebeek Valley a few times, we’d been just once before to the olive fest and were keen to check it out again, so we went up on Sunday May 6.<\/p>\n

\"Riebeek<\/a>\u00a0 \"Pulpit<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The traffic was pretty bad in Malmesbury due to multiple roadworks and stop\/gos and it was pretty heavy entering Riebeek Kasteel too, but, doing things in reverse order, we drove straight through to the end of Riebeek West to start our trawling from the other side.<\/p>\n

This was not a random decision – on our last visit to the festival a few years ago, we had potjie for lunch at Pulpit Rock and it had been so good we decided to start there this time around.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
