Sitting here typing my blog by an open fire. It is warm, but the B&B we are at has an open fire – so it would be rude not to use it. We left P.E. this morning and drove along the N2 – stopping for coffee at Storms River. This took about 90 minutes. Then we travelled to Knysa where we stopped and Linda looked around the shops – and we had another coffee and sandwich.
The road between Kynsa and George was full of roadwork’s and so 60 kms took 90 minutes – very frustrating. We were heading for Swelledenham – which is about 260 kms from George. Once we cleared George we were able to travel at 120km and made up some time. We had picked an B&B out of the guide book – the Old Mill and rang up and it had room. It was a good choice – as we have our own cottage for the night – with a little garden.
On arrival we had a nap – as I have driven about 500 kms today - We went to the restaurant for an evening meal. I had the three game – Springbok, Kudu and Ostrich – it was excellent! Linda had the fish.
We then went back to the room and I did some work on the computer and Linda read. The open fire burned brightly in the background.
We are now driving through the winelands - back towards Cape Town for one last look at Table Mountain and then home tomorrow!
