Notes on a road trip - Day 5

 27 August 2022, Saturday 

It was a beautiful, sunny morning. We briefly thought about driving to Calvinia for the ‘Vleisfees’, but then decided to walk around the farm instead and see what kind of flowers grow in the veld. We set off and within 100m from the farmhouse, found a few lovely specimens.

Back at the cottage I sat down under the lapa with my laptop to do some blogging.

You’d be pardoned for thinking this was a weaver tree … and they’re quite a lively bunch 😄

Then Nakkie came back from the veld with a lovely little flower. It was absolutely exquisite. See for yourself.  

This is to give you an idea of the actual size…

Mind blowing right?! 

Late afternoon we caught up with her and the hitherto unseen cats. They’re absolutely gorgeous. Again I’ll let the photographs speak for themselves.

After a lovely supper of chicken breasts and rolls, it was time to pack and for Wessel to attempt his last star trails on Gannabos. 

Gannabos was a definite highlight of our trip - Nakkie, your interior design skills are impeccable and you manage to create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and inviting your guests to just rest and relax.
