Gravel roads, Mazda CX 5 - a drive of incredible beauty and well worth a caked layer of dust on the vehicle !
We stopped at Kobus se Gat for a delicious breakfast - this is an ideal stop for breakfast, tea or lunch.
Crisp mountain air, glorious views and friendly service.
About 13 kms from Calitzdorp, you turn off left to Kruis River and the Nels River Valley which emerges at the junction of the R328 to the Cango Caves and Swartberg Pass. At this point, turn right for Oudtshoorn or left if you would like to go to Prince Albert.
We only went to the top of the pass this time as we had visited Prince Albert on another trip.
Meeting folk at stopping points on the mountain is always a treat - one such couple were from Swansea, Wales and had been enjoying a full month of travel in South Africa. Hearing foreigners raving about our beloved country is very heart-warming and just reinforces the fact that we live in one of the most beautiful and diverse countries on the planet.
