On the road


On the road again, to Graaff-Reinet, in the heart of the Groot Karoo (Place of Thirst).  This is the fourth oldest settlement in South Africa (after Cape Town, Stellenbosch, and Swellendam). It’s named after Jacob van de Graaf and his wife Cornelia Reynet. “De Wiljdgelegen Colonie van Graaff-Reinet” (the far off colony of Graaff-Reinet) was established in 1786. It still has many great Cape Dutch architecture buildings.


For this post we picked ‘on the road’ pictures only; no images of Graaff-Reinet or our camp at Urquhart Park on the outskirts of town. There was a lot of ‘on the road’ this holiday – about 5000 kilometres:-)

Old well, old farm, even older mountains.


South Africa is so – big and beautiful! All these seemingly endless roads through stunning landscapes, thousands and thousands of k’s, marvelous views - super!
