Roadtrip from Swellendam to Strand

copyright © Anthony Gillespie On 8 October 2021, my partner had a very early appointment in the outskirts of Strand. We had to leave Swellendam before sunrise. The Western Cape landscapes are beautiful. Ultimately, this is not where we should have been or wanted to be, but we could have been in worse places. There is a lot to be thankful for, but sometimes it is hard to keep the faith. Covid-19…

Sunday 14th April 2024

We left our lovely 'garage' in Struisbaai this morning and bade farewell to our landlady Mandi who seemed pleased to have had us as guests. We were heading to our latest stop at a small place called Tergniet near to Mossel Bay. Iinitially we travelled along the 319; an empty road, as straight as a ruler. We passed a group of pigs happily grazing by the roadside. In all, I would guess there were more pigs in the group than there were cars on the road.

The first stop was Swellendam and the Italian coffee shop, Tredici, as recommended by Mandi. We do as we are told as far as Mandi is concerned. It was great and we understand why she liked it. She said it was to die for! Mind you, she said a lot of things were to die for. How she's still alive I'm not sure. Anyway, the coffee and muffin was entirely up to scratch. From our table it was confirmed yet again that we were in Africa; a girl walked by with a pot on her head! Just like they are supposed to! The next stop was Heidelberg. Really odd place. There was no-one there! I mean no-one. We parked in front of a very nice historic building, the Doornboom Homestead, built 1733. Closed but picnic tables outside were welcome for consumption of luncheon. No-one. If tumbleweed had appeared in this residential street we should not have been surprised. We finished up and resumed our journey along deserted highly manicured streets.

The countryside was indeed beautiful with the Langeberg Mountain range ever present. Rich pastures either side with a new winter crop of barley on the way making the scenery so green and fresh. Perversely alongside many new born lambs and calves in evidence more usually associated with spring at home. Next rather brief stop was Albertina where we saw our first two elephants! Then two ostriches. We got quite excited about this and then we saw an entire field of them. It kind of took the edge off.

Our digs for the next three nights is a superbly positioned apartment, directly across the road from the ocean (noisy) and the beach. It's a huge 3 bedroom place so if anyone wants to join us, feel free. We shall be investigating the area in the morning. Clearly the success of the place will depend on whether it has a lighthouse or not.

Adder boy! Jack Russell's bite proves worse than its bark against 1.2m snake in Swellendam

This puff adder was injured when a Jack Russell attacked in Swellendam. (Supplied) A 1.2-metre-long puff adder got more than it bargained for earlier this month when a curious Jack Russell acted quickly after the reptile slithered onto its owners’ Swellendam farmhouse and bit the snake so badly that it took the reptile several days […]

N2 Strand to Swellendam

[kapgarden2024]

12. Januar: wir brechen auf in Richtung George, das soll unser nächstes Etappenziel sein. Erst geht es recht stramm nach Norden in das Landesinnere, denn die Straßen direkt an der Küste werden jetzt rar. Lange war man nicht in der Lage, die Küste außer mit dem Schiff zu erschließen, weil hier in der Gegend viele Berge sich mit Flüssen abwechseln, die ins Meer münden. Die Fahrt ins Innere beschert uns tolle Ausblicke über weites Land. Auch das sieht man auf den Fotos nicht wirklich. Nach etwa 100 km auf einer gut zu befahrenden Straße, erreichen wir Swellendam. Ein "normaler" Ort mit einem kleinen historischen Stadtkern, der drittälteste Ort Südafrikas. Bevor wir das Städtchen besichtigen, gönnen wir uns einen Snack im Cafe am Fluß. Wenn man die alten Häuser und die kleinen Boutiquen sieht, könnte man glatt den Eindruck gewinnen, dass man auf Sylt sei. Moritz hat mich gefragt, ob wir das Gefühl hätten in Afrika zu sein, und ich muss sagen, dass das eher nicht der Fall ist. Man hat meist eher den Eindruck an der Cote Azur zu sein oder an der Westküse in Schleswig-Holstein zu sein - nur viel wärmer ....;)
