Oudtshoorn -
My short escape from Cape Town took me to my homeland, the Garden Route. Shortly after an early breakfast, I left Cape Town and headed off towards Oudtshoorn and the Little Karoo. I stopped en route for a quick drink and a snack at a crazy little spot called Ronnies Sex Shop, a popular little restaurant-bar with great character, good food and welcoming atmosphere! On arrival in Oudtshoorn some 5 ½ hours (430km) later I checked into the lovely Thorntree Lodge 12km outside Oudtshoorn on the road towards the Cango Caves. Louis, the lodge owner, greeted me with a warm welcome and then checked me into my cosy luxury cottage in the rose garden. |

This picture postcard image of the Taj, as it is lovingly called, does little justice to the legend, the poetry and the romance woven into its history. Its beauty is eternal. It overawes, it mesmerizes, and it inspires. The Indian Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore aptly describes it as, ‘a teardrop on the cheek of time’. |
