Flowers around Nuewoudville extremely sparce.
Nice campsite on the Papkuilsfontein, with gas shower and proper flush loo. A change from the last 2 nights where we only had an Enviro Loo and nothingWeiterlesen

The drive through Calvinia on a Sunday was uneventful to say the least. In fact it seemed like the whole town was hibinating!

At the end of a "dead-end" we got to our 1st night's accommodation. An old farmhouse once stood here, which has now been modernised with gas geysers, flush loo's and very civilised showers and kitchenWeiterlesen

Having visited this area exactly 3 years ago, which was a colourful wonderland, we were greeted by dry, drab, dusty roads and very little colour. Apparently the very early rains meant that the flowersWeiterlesen

Although a welcome relief from the howling wind, the accommodation is a little "out of the ordinary" for the area.

Passed through Merweville on our way to Karoo National Park.

Although the roads are very dusty, there is definite evidence that the park has good rains.
