Our Travels - South Africa (Western Cape)

 

 Our Journey to Cape Town always starts and ends with Table Mountain, only because you cannot miss it when you are at the airport.

Although we normally fly from Gauteng to Cape Town, we done a road trip once, visiting small joules in our country that most people just oversee or others don't know about their existence.

We could not pass Graaff-Reinet without visiting the most beautiful Church in South Africa.

Then for sure we had to see the Church with the tallest tower in South Africa in Aberdeen.

 
 On our road we saw a sign Nieu-Bethesda and although it is a very small town with almost nothing to feast your eyes on and a gravel road to take you there, we could not pass it without seeing the Owl-house.  It has a great story about the owner who took her own life, after she tried to enlightened the world for other people ... read more about it if you want.

We had to stop at Albertinia, to indulge our taste-buds with a Roosterkoek or two or...

Langebaan is a Soul-retriever...  it is difficult to find the right word to describe the tranquility we found in the presence of this small town.

 But with all the beauty and splendor you will find in Langebaan, you have to spoil yourself to see Paternoster as well... and for that big smile on our faces, we just had to pop in at the panty-bar.

When in search for tranquility and peace of mind, finding our true North, Knysna was part of our plans.  There is so much to do and a week was not long enough to loose ourselves in a dreamworld... and a gin at sunset is a sure must. Spoil yourself at Knysna Gin Distillery.
