Alpha Excelsior guest farm

 Monday 29/11/21

We been having a busy time, visiting family and catching up with old friends, but  now we are on our way again, to Kruger Park.  As usual, we're trying to find routes we haven't travelled before and, as usual, we are amazed at what this country has to offer.

We stopped in Hermanus to have some lunch on the rocks and were treated to
some fantastic whale-watching

While we were watching the whales, he was watching our lunch...


For some reason, watching the whales has a very relaxing effect on one.



The Voëlklip area of Hermanus, nestled between the sea and mountain

The lovely Kempsrivier farm where we were lucky enough to spend the night

We stumbled upon a guest farm near Clanwilliam as we were intrigued by the retro caravan accommodation they have on offer. It turns out they have a winery too, so we had a taste of their wines and olive oil (and bought more than we had planned) and are also a premier spot for bouldering - climbing over huge boulders without ropes, etc.  

We took a walk to the nearby waterfall and the scenery is absolutely breath-taking, we can certainly understand why people come and stay here for months at a time for the climbing.

We like the décor but won't be changing Bokkie any time soon

'Mongoose' - our room for the night.

The scenery in the area is absolutely stunning!


A huge thank-you to all the friends and family who have fed and housed us over the past few weeks, it has been lovely to reconnect and hopefully we won't be away for so long this time.  With Covid flaring up again, we might never be able to leave, who knows?
