Clarens & Golden Gate National Park

A gorgeous day in Clarens - warm sunshine and beautiful scenery.

We’ve driven around and looked at vacation homes around here before, so we decided to take a closer look.  We stopped in to a realty office and asked if there were places for sale that we could see.  Apparently there’re many for sale, and prices are amazingly low, including monthly HOA fees.  She showed us a duplex unit on the golf course - if it weren’t such a long way to get here, it would be a great deal for a place to spend winters.

Later in the afternoon we drove to nearby Golden Gate National Park - gorgeous rock formations and our first sightings of wild critters.





We saw wildebeests, zebras, and some kind of bok (antelope) - we couldn’t get close enough to get a picture, but our new binoculars worked great.

And finally...



My suitcase arrived!  It took several “assertive” phone calls and 45 hours, but it’s here.  Whew!  (British Airways sent me a customer satisfaction questionnaire - they got an unvarnished response.)

On the road again šŸŽµ

Image
On Monday morning we had breakfast with the two other couples that were staying at the B&B - both happened to be from Germany, but they weren’t traveling together.  We had gotten to know them last night when we all opted to have dinner at the B&B, as well. After breakfast we packed up and hit the road again, this time heading for the town of Robertson (where we’ve never been before) by way of two familiar stops. The first was lunch at Diesel & Creme - a fun spot in the small town of Barrydale that we discovered on our first trip to South Africa five years ago. It’s a popular lunch place with good food and a delightful array of old diesel pumps, signs, etc. Our next stop isn’t what it looks like... “Ronnie’s Sex Shop” is a famous roadside attraction that’s 1) NOT a porn shop, and 2) the result of a practical joke.  Ronnie bought the derelict building with plans to restore it and open a roadside fruit and vegetable stand (there’s a lot of produce grown in this area)....

Road trip to Franschhoek

Image
Today we took a road trip over a mountain to Franschhoek, the St. Helena of South Africa’s winelands region. It was a beautiful day for a drive, and traffic wasn’t bad at all, although downtown Franschhoek was reasonably busy, all things considered. We had lunch in a pub in the restored train station. And we found three of the Big Five wild critters - and they held very still for us. šŸ˜‰ A Cape buffalo - An elephant (a bit smaller than those we’ve seen in the wild on previous trips - must be a baby) - And a rhino - After lunch we continued our drive through the mountains on the far side of Franschhoek, pulling over several times to take in the views. And we came across more baboons.  These aren’t great photos since they were in the shade. These two looked like teddy bears - right after I took the picture, one shoved the other over. This big guy sat on a rock and looked at me. We continued over the pass and came down into a valley with miles of apple orchards where the ripe fruit was...

Time to go home

Image
Wednesday morning we enjoyed our last breakfast with this view - We finished packing up our bags, but this one didn’t need repacking - The duffle filled with John’s motorcycle gear never got opened (but it did get schlepped in and out of a lot of hotel rooms).   Our drive to the Cape Town airport was easy, as was returning the rental car.  I wish every airport would paint “Rental Car Return” on the correct lane repeatedly and well ahead of time - well done, CPT! We had a porter help us get our bags from the rental car return area to the departure area, which was money well spent - it was like having a personal guide through the crowded airport.  He checked his phone to see which specific British Airways line we should be in and delivered us right there. The airport was crowded - the departing flights were full, and lots of people were there trying to get a seat on any possible flight before tomorrow’s country-wide lockdown, which was just announced two days ago.  It ...
