Nanaga roosterkoek

Stopping at the Nanaga Farmstall for their delicious pies have become an institution over the years. Not everybody is always in the mood for a pie though. No problemo. They also have mouthwatering roosterkoek. I like mine with jam and cheese. How do you like yours?

Clinking glasses and eating cheese at Packwood

Having a food and wine lover on a road trip means the trip is likely to be interrupted at some stage or another to indulge, or at least enjoy in moderation, either or both of these. This is what happened on a recent road trip to Cape Town with fellow tourism peeps and Geocachers Shefetswe and Erenei. … Continue reading Clinking glasses and eating cheese at Packwood →

The Cockscomb on the horizon

That dream kinda shattered when I found it it wasn't all quite as adventurous and glamorous. Instead I went into tourism although the … Continue reading Ganora Fossil Museum →

Unusual monuments

At the end of August I took a road trip to Johannesburg and on my travels discovered two slightly unusual monuments. Discovered by the way, as there were Geocaches hidden close to both. The first one was a monument just outside of Middelburg in the Eastern Cape. The stone monument has a picture of a chair on … Continue reading Unusual monuments →

Fynbos Ramble

The Fynbos Ramble is one of several trails through the Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve. They're all easy, manageable trails and well worth doing, specially this time of the year with all the proteas in flower.
