April 2010
Franschhoek Oudtschoorn
At today's stage we have covered about 420 km. Today was not typical compared to recent days.
The obligatory first wake-up call rang us at 7.00 clock in the beds. After an extensive breakfast we departed at 9:00 clock of Franschhoek.
Our route took us on Route 62 through the Huguenot Tunnel via Worcester, past fruit (pears, apples and peaches) and wine plantations. We went to Barrydale where we could have lunch at the restaurant Country Pumpkin. Today
were quiche with spinach and feta, bobotie (meat) and chicken pie to choose from.
remained after the meal and still have enough time to shop for souvenirs in the souvenir and gift search.

The vegetation has changed in the meantime. You could see beautiful mountains in red color, caused by the iron content. The fruit and wine plantations Wiechen now bushes, shrubs, grasses and cacti.
During the long bus ride we got a lot of information on land and people of Ingrid, our guide, such as on the school system, political situation, etc.

When I come to the world, I'm black
When I wake up, I black
If I am sick, I black
When I go into the sun, I black
When I die, I'm black
BUT YOU
When you come to the world, you're pink
If you wake up you're white
If you're sick, you're green
If you go in the sun, you red When you're cold
you're blue
If you die, you gray
And dare you - damn it - call me a man of color.
Ingrid, tour guide
