George to Oudtshoorn

by Victor

My trip to George had been an over-night trip, and so had been greatly prejudiced in terms of scenery.

As such, it was no wonder that l was suddenly gripped with lots of anxiety for the next leg of our trip, being from my hotel in George to Oudshoorn.

I longed to see the lush greenery, of the abundant forests and rows-upon-rows of vineyards accompanied by lovely, Dutch-style farmhouses that had been told to me like folk-stories by my friends back in Cape Town.

The trip looked very promising, the road ahead was a winding one, going up a series of mountains. It was almost like a trip to the heavens, as we drove through beautiful lush forest on either side. The higher we went up towards the top of the mountain range, the closer we got to the low lying clouds.

We wound our way up and soon found ourselves in an almost all white atmosphere, it was just mesmerising.
” Just like heaven”, I quietly thought to myself, as l struggled to hold back the excitement that had engulfed me now.

When we cleared the apex of the cloud-covered mountain range, down below lay the grape farms. Countless rows of grape vines, and the patterns which the numerous fields made seemed to have been a deliberate intent to mesmerise the eyes and at the same time fascinate the minds of those who dared journey on this road.

Soon, the mountains gave way to flat lands, and the vineyards to dusty, copper-red pleins. Ostriches soon became the dominance of my attraction.
“…next stop, ‘The Ostrich Capital’…”
