Lovely lunch. And they're pet friendly, so we'll definitely be back. |
 |
Pumba! Very tempted to put one in the boot |
 |
Many of the rondawels are crowned with a tyre, with all sorts of stuff inside - decorations, plants... |
 |
Stationery, hardware, charging, cement, gas, paraffin, Vodago, MTN, hampers, frozen chicken, wors, eggs, bread, candles, cooldrinks, fruit, veggies, cigarettes, tobacco...and photocopying |

The wheelbarrow is a very popular mode of transport for everything from crates of beer to beds. The rocks are on the road to stop vehicles driving on it while the road is being resurfaced. |
 |
Beautiful rolling hills |
 |
The sheep are all have ID marks |
 |
Huts like this are dotted all along the road |
 |
Lovely colours, and the afternoon light is gorgeous |
 |
Something for everyone - love the graphic |

Brown grass of winter contrasts beautifully with the vibrant colours of the dwellings |
 |
Regular stops for livestock. Oh, and beware of potholes... |
 |
Speed bumps are a very popular method of road calming. First time I've ever seen worn-out bumps! |

Soccer on school grounds a Sunday afternoon. Both teams immaculately turned out |

Loved this - shoe repairs anyone? |
 |
No yellow line driving here! Imagine the volume of water that necessitates these culverts! |

Beautiful landscape. Dwellings as far as the eye can see |

Cattle crossing ahead. Note the erosion on the slopes |
 |
Stark erosion |

Capitec can be found in every hamlet, village and town. Very interesting strategy. Note that the election posters are still up |
 |
Love these shops! |
 |
Even closer to home we had to stop for kids crossing |
 |
Oh, the irony! So much to say about this, but where to start? |
Excellent variety of photies, HM. Missed these on FB Great to see what the area looks like. I basically only passed through the area on the main road about 30 years ago, and everything was so shrouded in heavy mist that we had to stop over at the Holiday Inn [?] because we could not see more than a foot in front of us and - as you show here, there was the constant danger of hitting something with my beloved Chev Nomad. I doubt that my parents would have appreciated that any more than me, my Nomad and whatever I hit!
ReplyDeleteThanks Corinna. What a pity about the mist - you missed some beautiful scenery. Good call to stop over though!
