Dag 2 van 3 Woensdag 22 Mei 2024

Valsbaai foto stop

Simonstad uitsig vanaf Red Hill Pas

Chapman's Peak Drive

Info from https://www.falsebayecho.co.za.

Chapman’s Peak Drive which is considered one of the world’s most scenic drives celebrates its centenary tomorrow, Friday May 6.

It was nominated by Big 7, an online travel website, as the 40th most scenic route in the world on their list of 50 epic drives in March 2020.

To celebrate its centenary, a large frame was put up at the big picnic site overlooking Hout Bay. In the 100 days running up to its centenary, visitors were encouraged to take a photo of themselves in the frame and share it on social media to win “great prizes.”

The winding road, which has 114 curves and stretches from Noordhoek to Hout Bay is 9km long and was built over a seven-year period at a cost of ₤20 000, according to the Chapman’s Peak website.

Making use of convict labour supplied by the newly formed Union Government, construction began at the Hout Bay end in 1915 followed by construction of the Noordhoek side in 1916.

16 Augustus 2023 - na Cango Caves

Ian en ek vir 'n woensdag oggend BMW trip 94km

Info from there website, thank you

What are the Cango Caves?

The Cango Caves are Africa's largest show caves and one of the Seven Wonders of Southern Africa, which makes the Cango Caves the archaeological and historical highlight of the Klein Karoo.

It lies 29km from Oudtshoorn in the picturesque Cango Valley and is situated in a limestone ridge that runs parallel to the well-known Swartberg Mountains and here you’ll find the finest dripstone caves, with their massive halls and towering limestone formations in a variety of colours.

It was originally thought to be only about 1km long, but the caves have been discovered to extend naturally for well over 5km - however it could be even longer, larger and more mysterious than current estimates. You can visit approximately one-quarter of the entire 5km system of interlinking tunnels. The rest is closed for conservation purposes.

Experiencing the Cango Caves

As you enter the caves, you’ll be greeted by an instant rush of warm temperature and humidity. The chambers are illuminated, so you won't miss any of the natural beauty of any of the cave chambers.

From the entrance, a flight of stairs takes you down to the huge Van Zyl’s Hall, an amazing cave that’s 107m long, 54m at its widest and up to 17m in height. You can also look forward to seeing other formations like the 10m high Cleopatra’s Needle (estimated to be about 150 000 years old), the Organ Pipes, the Ballerina and the Frozen Waterfall.
