Thorsten and I spent a weekend in Greyton, a small town less than two hours from Cape Town, and also made a brief wine-tasting stop in Malgas.

Thorsten and I spent three fantastic days at an Airbnb in Suurbraak, a village about three hours from Cape Town in the Overberg Mountains.

Part 3 of my Quirky South Africa road trip series covers our drive through the Garden Route, staying in Storms River and Plettenberg Bay.

My mom and I did a lot of quirky things on our road trip through South Africa. But the main quirky highlight was all the padstals we visited.

Thorsten, Dee, and I went for Gatsby sandwiches at Continental Takeaways in Salt River, Cape Town. I was full for two days afterward.

We climbed Table Mountain, starting from the Kirstenbosch and up the Skeleton Gorge Trail. Here's how we did it.

Thorsten and I spent two days at the De Hoop Nature reserve, near Cape Agulhas in the Western Cape. It was my second visit to De Hoop.

I visited the Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point in Africa, for the first time. But I was lazy and missed a lot of the attractions.

I visited Arniston for two days and was blown away by the town's history, culture, and astonishing beauty.

I did a lot of wine tasting at the Noble Vice fest in Stellenbosch. I tried to do it intelligently...Did I succeed?

After spending two days at the beach in Plettenberg Bay, we took a quick drive over the Outeniqua Pass to spend two days in the desert in Oudtshoorn.

I spent two days at the beach in Plettenberg Bay and then two days at the desert in Oudtshoorn. This is part I of the journey.
