To Stellenbosch...

The road back to the coast was also pretty spectacular especially just outside George when we hit the breathtaking Outeniqua Pass, a road that goes straight through the escarpment, it was awesome, winding in between sheer cliff walls on side, close enough to touch, and rolling green hills on the other. Whose crazy,but impressive idea was it to build the road through here?

We decided to miss out the Garden Route and keep on moving on, although we have a fair bit of time, we still have a lot of ground to cover to get up to Ethiopia. We overnighted in Swellingdam and had a great feed on warthog samosas, crocodile sashimi and springbok fillets. Yum.

We spent one night in the town of Stellenbosch and then a couple of nights out of town closer to the wineries, or wine farms as they call them here. Stellenbosch has to be the most spectacular and beautiful wine region I've seen. Even without the vines the area would be worth a visit of the scenery alone. What an amazing sight, rows of vines sloping up the side of the mountains.
