Margaret and I , together with two wonderful "Lavender Ladies" ( Margarets Mum and her sister Val) decided to go and see the flowers..... We travelled from Cape Town to Clanwilliam, where we stopped for lunch and saw an amazing flower show being held in a church.We stayed the night in a VERY rustic cottage called Traverlers Rest, to our suprise we realy enjoyed our stay and suprisingley the beds were very comfortable.The next morning we woke up and saw small pockets of beautiful flowes...we headed off towards Calvinia via Biedou Valley...stunningly beautiful, not only to see the flowers but also being surrounded by the most amazing mountains.We then took the very scarry journey to Wupperthal...thinking we would be able to fill up our petrol tank...sorry for us no petrol!We had to go back to Clanwilliam.
We then took the quickest route to Calvinia, where we stayed the night in one of the cleanest self cattering cottages we have ever seen...
The next morning we headed off to Nieuwoudtille....wow that was where we saw the most incredible flowers, quite spectacular!
Our next trip we will head off to Springbok and see some more of our most beautiful country.
