Vineyards in the Overberg

The Overberg is also one of the main wheat growing areas of South Africa

Lots of sheep, as well as cattle

Very scenic mountain pass

Visiting the Ostrich Farm outside Oudtshoorn

Bet you've never done this!

  2. I like the female Weaver bird's attitude. "You go girl"! Good to see you have arrived in Cape Town snd your passage seemed nicely uneventful weather wise.
