Avoid the Queue via Route 62
A Journey to the Unexpected
We are moving on today and have a long(ish) 4 and a half hour drive ahead to Hlangana Lodge in Oudtshoorn, so are making an early start. Route 62 is a good alternative to the very popular Garden Route along the coast. It is supposed to be quieter, but no less picturesque – we’ll find out today.
It is often the unexpected elements of a trip that are the most fun rather than the big attraction “Must Do” tourist sights. We are hoping to be able to experience a bit more of what South Africa is really like on this part of the our journey.
I will remember Franschhoek as a very pretty little place – full of roses even this early in Spring/Summer – definitely somewhere to return to.



Glad I Packed
No peg clothes line, which worked a treat hanging over the bath.
The guide book on Kindle – much lighter than a fat book and I have learned how to add bookmarks now – so useful.
Thought for the day – must find room in our house somewhere for a large bean bag – they are such fun!
