The Beautiful Cedarberg |
We must be the worlds greatest optimists; today we drive
down to Lamberts Bay as we were told that flowers had
been seen, but again it was a disappointment.
However we were able to do our
good deal for the day when we came across a security company vehicle on the
side of the road and they had run out of petrol some 10kms from Lamberts Bay so
we gave one of their party a lift into town and told him if he is still on the
road when we go back to Clanwilliam we will pick him up.
Lamberts Bay has a fish factory
and a potato chip manufacturing plant that supplies a lot of the fast food
outlets in the Western Cape with chips, I assume they par cook and pack, after
all this is a potato growing area. The odour of fish is very evident in this
town and although we did not see any fish we could certainly smell them.
In the afternoon we travelled up
into the Cedarberg and saw how low the water in the dam was, but the scenery
was great, but very little in the way of flowers.
Tomorrow we leave for the Tankwa Karoo
National Park our second
last stop on this our Sothern Africa Safari.
You can see where the dam supposed to be now it is beach |
