We had to use one of their cottages instead. It is a lovely tranquil place to stay. And yes, the phones lines are often "down" but don't let that stop you from just arriving at this place. As long as it is not over a long weekend or during school holidays, you could have this place all to yourselves like we did.

Yes the Karoo is quite special and has a beauty all of its own. Enjoy your stay in Switzerland and make the most of seeing as much of Europe as you can while you are there and come back home soon to enjoy SA. Cheers and Happy New Year to you.

We so often think of the Karoo as just a dry boring place, yet there is so much beauty and places of interests. It is a pleasure reading your blog...make me home-sick (currently in Switzerland).

We have a very fascinating and interesting country and so much that still has to be seen and experienced. I've no idea how or why Verkeerdevlei and that particular valley runs east/west and all the others run north/south. It happened before my time.:-) Cheers Peter Thanks Nelly, yes we have to do some trips together in the coming year.

Been there with Nissan 1400 & 1150GS motorcycle. "Rose of the Karoo" restaurant has deteriorated, we walked in & literally walked out.The best is "Die Dorpshuis" opposite the shell garage in van Riebeeck street opposite the church. Popular place for bikers & travelers,it's a must for lunch on our off road bike trips from cape Town. An accurate and entertaining report. Been there with Nissan 1400 & 1150GS motorcycle.

What I can tell you is that the locals use normal cars to drive there and back and if I still had my little Golf I would do it with the Golf. Remember you cannot do it with a trailer or caravan, you are not allowed to tow anything As long as your little car is not a sports car you should make it Athol I dont want to tell you that you can and when you damage your car you come back to me.
