After leaving Cape Town the next drive was to #montague and the drive was lovely. Taking a non highway meant it was pretty and quiet. Lovely yellow proteas. Then through the pass into Montague. It is a cute town and lots of dried fruit is processed there, so not as sleepy as it looks. Weavers…

So next two days were spent in Cape Town, which welcomed me with a rainbow 🌈 Dinner was @blue_peter_bloubergstrand which truthfully has not changed much in all the years I have been going. Next morning was the incredible ( this is a fraction of the choice ) @victoriaandalfred_hotel buffet. It has fruit, cold meats, hot…
After leaving the @karoo1_hotel_village (those cute sheep) the next stop was the Desert Botanical Gardens in #Worcestor. @sanbi_za it was fantastic. The plant life was all just starting to bloom and the daisies were all blooming as well as the variety of aloes. But the birds! So many sunbirds, hoopoes and weavers just flitting about….

Left Johannesburg yesterday morning early. Sunrise was spectacular. So many trucks on the road. Driving through the Karoo is still my favourite. So beautiful. Stopped @karoopadstal which was excellent. Drove through the sunset. Ended up @karoo1_hotel_village for the night. #karoo #driving #sunrisetosunset (at South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChEaz4Ru90F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Saw my granny today she is sadly not as sharp as she was. But still has some fire. Bought her a new teddy bear, something soft for her. #granny #johannesburg #visit2022 (at Johannesburg, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6phKTKP-_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
