An owl at Boschendal

While visiting Boschendal wine estate's open-air Le Café restaurant for breakfast, one of my keen-eyed nieces spotted this owl sitting high up in a large oak tree, not far from where we were sitting.

While the visit to Le Café was pleasant and not too expensive, the service was only alright. It wasn't 4 or 5 star quality - something that I would have expected from this well-known premium estate. The omelets and coffee that we enjoyed was good, but we found it strange that the omelets excluded cheese - something that I thought all omelets would contain.

The open-air setting below large oak trees is very pleasant and relaxing, so even though our Le Café experience wasn't what we would have expected, it's still worth the visit.
