Highlights
- The old guest lodge, built in 1796.
- A swim in the pool, refreshing in the oppressive heat. We chatted with some other guests, who are lecturers at UCT.
- Going out for a delicious dinner (Kudu, Ostrich, Steak) with Jo. Matt stayed at the lodge as he wanted time to himself. We had rather a lot of trouble finding him dinner afterwards.
- "Competing" on the WhatsApp family group with Antony and Sam who were in Matjiesfontein. Their pool was greener but shallower. Their dinner larger but less culinary.
- A walk to the waterfall at the local nature reserve with a beautiful mountain backdrop. The waterfall was rather disappointing with the drought, but some good exercise.
- A berry smoothy and mudcake at the nearby berry farm.
