Addo to Stellenbosch

Leaving Addo National Elephant Park behind, it was long day drive to Knyzna, along the garden route! We passed through many townships, usually located on the outskirts of the town. Often they were across a street from the very big and wealthy suburbs, as this is where they are employed!

Millions of people live in townships like this. 

Many have no power and running water. 

Lots of road work happening, but if there is a long wait, there is always refreshments to be bought!

           Coffee break on the beach!!!

Stopped to admire a lot of these in a field along the highway!

                   Handsome, eh?

Biltong...an air dried, plain or flavoured with spices piece of beef! A snack found all over South Africa!  Moister than our beef jerky. 

King protea....South Africa's national flower. It can get to be 12 inches across. This one was only about 8 or 9 inches. Growing wild along our morning hike in Stellenbosch.
