George -> Oudtshoorn

Today we didn't had a very long drive ahead of us so we slept in a little bit and after checking out at the accommodation in George around 10 in the morning we decided to first get a few groceries at the Spar in George and afterwards the idea was to drive to a national park that I found on Google Maps to see if we could go for a hike there. Unfortunately Google Maps just sent us far from the main road over the smallest dirt roads which only seemed to lead to vineyards and the roads getting smaller and smaller. So eventually we decided to turn around and just drive towards Oudtshoorn after a stop at "over the mountain" tea garden for some coffee and ice tea with a beautiful view. On our way to Oudtshoorn we saw the weather changing again and not long after arriving at our accommodation it started raining quite heavily again so we spent the rest of the afternoon at the accommodation and rest a bit. When the electricity came back just after 18:00 we cooked and while we were still busy cooking our host, Gertruida knocked on our door with a plate full of homemade cookies which were still warm and tasted really delicious. Everyone we've met so far during this trip has been so friendly to us and we feel really welcome at every place we've been so far and that was definitely the case at this beautiful, peaceful accommodation in Oudtshoorn as well.Read more
