Woke up to this beautiful view of the mountains.



We were off to Oudtshoorn for some sightseeing. First stop the swing bridge. Nicholas was shaking the bridge as we walked across and making it swing and Juanita was shouting at him, we were all laughing.







Went to buy ostrich biltong for Vicki's stepfather. Biltong is a dried meat that is eaten all over South Africa as a snack and here it is made from ostrich meat. This meat has become very popular as it is cholesterol free. It tastes very nice too.



Oudtshoorn is full of beautiful old buildings built during the ostrich feather boom.



The weather in Oudtshoorn was glorious and we drove through the Outeniqua mountains to get back to George, through the clouds.





We stopped at a viewing point but it was so cold nobody wanted to venture out of the bag. We were all cuddled up and warm!





Abeeku, the teeniest of us all, couldn't see a thing out the top of the bag, so he volunteered to come out and see the view.

And what a stunning view! Whew! Pity is was so misty and cloudy, you couldn't really see George in the distance. The dirt road is the old Montague Pass road which was the first road made to cross over the mountains. I am still glad I didn't venture out of the bag...
