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 nothingBaca selengkapnya

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

Passed through Merweville on our way to Karoo National Park.
