The day dawned bright and sunny but chilly at 8° C. We set off on the long drive back to Cape Town.

We followed the R62, a very scenic drive.

We drove past the ostrich farm.

We stopped for a coffee at Barrydale. By then the temperature had risen to 25°C.

It was an amazing drive over, round and through the mountains. We went through two mountain passes – Huis River Pass and the Outeniqua Pass.

We came back along the coast.

We saw a tram – quite an unusual sight in South Africa as most of the railway system has been damaged.

It was a very long day, but nice to be back with the rest of the family.
