One of the highlights was Warmwaterberg Spa with its three hot pools. The boys loved spending half a day soaking in the hot water. we managed two mornings there and are really grateful to a couple we met half way through the holiday who told us about the spa. Most locals recommend a trip to the hot springs in Montagu but these have been colonised by a larney hotel which isn't great for youngsters. Warmwaterberg is much better and well worth the 30k's drive out of Barrydale.

This post is pure delight to read. One day I must visit South Africa!
ReplyDeleteI have traveled much, but never to Africa. Right now I am in a time of my life when travel is not on the menu for many reasons, but one day...
Thanks for sharing your trip memories. Happy Birthday to you Dean!
And I so love your sense of humor as well.
