Through the Karoo

fruit fields in Karoo

sundown from route 62

Having spent nearly the whole week by the sea, we took Route 62, the way through the mountains back to Cape Town. The Mountains there are called Klein Karoo. And it is all different from the Garden Route, but no less as beautiful. The valleys are full of wine and fruit farms, the hills are soft and green. The street signs tell you to look out for turtoise, and really there are tortoise at the side of the street, like hedgehogs in Germany!

We still had nearly 500 km to cover, but we started right after the caves in the morning and had a wonderful time on the road.

the changing light made the mountains look different every minute
