 Here is another lovely stop for the next time you are road-tripping on the N2. This delightful bakery is a short stroll from the Shell Ultracity at the Cape Town end of Riviersonderend. [...] On one of many trips to Riversdale I headed up into the Garcia State Forest to enjoy riding the plantation roads amongst the endless acres of pine trees. [...]  I generally am very unadventurous when it comes to stopping on road-trips. On a recent return from Knysna we stopped at Tredici in Swellendam for a cooldrink and a slice of truly decadent chocolate cake. [...]  Playing tourist in your own country is heaps of fun! On a recent trip to Arniston, we spent an afternoon exploring Struisbaai and Cape Agulhas. This southernmost stretch of the African coast is rugged and windswept. [...]  Garcia’s Pass is on the R323 road from Ladismith to Riversdale. The old route to reach Riversdale from Ladismith was long and tedious and locals required a more direct route to move goods to and from Mossel Bay to Ladismith. [...]  This easy stroll takes you to the impressive Waenhuiskrans Cave. The cave can only be reached at low tide. [...]  The quaint little village of Kassiesbaai nestles on the coast next to Arniston. Each cottage with lime-washed walls and thatch roof is a painting waiting to happen, and the whole village has been declared a national monument. [...]  The fish traps at Arniston are simply stone “walls” built on the shoreline to form rock pools in the tidal zone. Fish that swim in over the walls at hight tide are then trapped when the water resides come low-tide. This would have been an important source of protein for local residents in the years gone by. [...]  The Noupoort Walk is an easy walk allowing you to enjoy the best of the Greyton Nature Reserve. This is one of a number of easy walks in and around the tiny Overberg hamlet of Greyton. [...] |
