Road-trippin’. Everyone loves a road trip. Pump up the tunes and head on down the freeway — but don’t forget to take a break at one of these fab stops!
Each road-stop has its own quirky character. My personal favourites are of the farmstall variety where you can buy delicious padkos, as well as produce with a local flavour.
Safe access to the road is important, as well as clean ablutions and easy parking.
