Thanks for the compliment! Dawn, yes, you clearly traveled the road often. :) And, yes, the route you took to the city is FAR prettier than the highway. Thanks for the compliment!

My mom and I spent some time in the beautiful Cape in March and we stayed in Durbanville. We often used this road into the city instead of the N1. I soo wanted to take a photo there, but as you say places to stop are very scarce. I am staying in Bloemfontein and I regularly visit your site. Your pictures are absolutely beautiful.

The was no traffic, and it was such a beautiful scene that I just raised the camera, hit the ON button, and snapped the shot.There are unfortunately no safe places to stop (in the direction that I was traveling) and only one or two in the other direction. It's actually prettier than the photo shows - there are beautiful vineyards to the right of the picture. Thanks Gwen.

It's quite unlike any other road - and peaceful, yes, that's exactly it, and perhaps why some drive it so slowly. That’s exactly right Jonathan – parallel universe.
