Winelands of SA - beautiful but no wi-fi

Macs hate South African Wi-fi. Whatever settings they use for their ADSL routers do not agree with our laptops. We end up plugging in using a hard line or using the standard computers that are provided. Coffee shops and places with "commercialized" wi-fi seem to work just fine, however home connections and Macs are like oil and water.

So we've made it through Jo'burg, without getting "hijacked" and went to Kruger National Park where we saw a ton of wildlife (all the big 5 multiple times and MORE) and now, we're in the Western Cape (Franschhoek) at a guest house, right in the middle of the winelands. The weather is quite cool and rainy here right now (a welcome change from Dubai, Morocco and Egypt) and hopefully tomorrow it will clear so we can go do some wine tasting. Actually, who am I kidding, you don't need sunny weather for wine tasting... at least we don't.

Ed note: Apparently we weren't looking hard enough. We've found a router that works with our Mac and we're hooked up for the week. New pictures and blogs should follow shortly.
