The road to Durban

We left The Drakensberg on a cool morning with snow on the mountain tops. Not a lot of snow, but it had a definite impact on the temperature. We travelled in the normal way, which is of the beaten track and more rural and hilly than the main road and thus the scenery is always well worth it. We went through some little town and the one in attached picture sort of an indication as to what has happened in some of the small villages with the building of the major highways.

Himeville Arms(visited the day before)

Even the Chinese did'nt make it


We stopped to have lunch in Richmond at the “something” Pub and Grill. There was nowhere else, I have to add and there was also nothing to eat at the Pub and Grill. Dick got us each a glass of red wine and I fetched the leftover chicken legs and cheese and pro-vita from the car (much to Dick’s disgust) and we ate our own lunch on the stoep. Nothing happened and in my mind it was a “win-win” situation!
Once we had done lunch it was one way to Durban, or rather Kloof, where we are staying for the next few days. Our friend, Bruce, has left the house to us for 3 days, while he is away and we are more than grateful to him. It is a beautiful house, high on a hill, overlooking some part of the city. There is the massive, stunning garden and we are feeling very blessed to be here.
Tomorrow morning off to go and to some touristy stuff in Durbs
