Thursday 30th January 2020.

In a very present 34C we decided to go over the mountains to Franschhoek which has its name etched onto the mountain side –

And then had a warm stroll along the Main Street –

Some African market stalls, very bright as usual –

Then this very happy chappy on the pavement –

A little bit of culture –

And architecture –

Can you get a more perfect box hedge than this? –

And how about some perfect gentleman –

Quite a clever work of art –

A lovely light lunch before we left –

To leave Franschhoek behind –

And drop down to Theewaterkloof Reservoir which was just sand when we saw it 2 years ago and all the water restrictions were in place. Now restored to virtually normal –

And our big coup of the day was to see a pair of Blue Crane –

Absolutely fantastic –

Then we drove back through mile after mile of orchards. Apples galore –

A grand day out.
