I decided to leave Cape Town and rent a car to go to the interior. We took road N1 heading east. Soon we were enhanced by great mountain landscapes, especially on both sides of the Hugenote Tunnel. They charge here 47 rands to pass 4-kms tunnel. Then we were crossing huge valley filled with kilometers of vine orchards.
Unfortunately along N1 thereare also shantytowns – not a pleasant view! In the midday our car was climbing a high pass enjoying great panoramas… Finally at 2 pm we reached little township Touws Riviers. 8,5 kms from the highway Hillary offers countryside accommodation in the middle of nowhere. It is small house surrounded by color hills. From the highway we were driving on gravel to the gate of farm 5 kms, then Hi?ary arrived by 4×4 truck to take us and the luggage through the holes to this separated place. This will be night in the very special place! I am tired, also because strong sun and heat…
