South Africa....

As I have mentioned, driving in South can be adventure by itself with all the people, hitchhikers, cows, impalas, goats, sheep, fast drivers, slow drivers, construction crews and trucks roaming the roads.  Overall, the roads are good and smooth, but many non-highways often have significant stretches of potholes.  Some are deep and if you fall in,  for some reason, you are prohibited from getting yourself out-



I did see some unusual construction projects driving around-




Does 'standalone' mean no sink or bathroom?  Not sure.

I would certainly appreciate anyone who can explain the meaning of the following sign-

Notwithstanding my occasional bemusement, I found South Africa a wonderful, beautiful, incredibly diverse, and exotic land filled with some of the most friendly and welcoming people I have met anywhere,

 From 'the prettiest city in the world-



To the prettiest vineyards anywhere-



To its beautiful sea side towns-




To the dramatic and world class Drakenbergs-








To its exotic animals-








To its oh-so-welcoming and interesting people-

To its spectacular and uniquely  verdant Blyde River Canyon-




Where else in the world can you see and experience all this?

And if you throw into all of that, a side to one of the world's true wonders at Vic Falls (as they call it)-





Well, you have the makings of a pretty good trip.   Thanks for reading.
