Friday 26th August |
|
After the hectic traffic of the city has slowed down we will
take our leave and
travel up the R27 to the
West Coast National Park.
Posberg
within the Park has an
excellent viewing of
Spring Flowers. One
thing to remember when
you are viewing flowers
is that good sightings
are dependent on clear
skies, and full sunshine between the hours
of 11h00 and 15h00.
To get maximum viewing I
will arrange a picnic
lunch for us that can be
enjoyed between all the
photography. There is a
lovely beach, and if
it’s not too windy, this
can be an ideal spot for
a picnic.
We will take our leave
of the West Coast
National Park after
16h00 and travel to
Darling which is no more
than 25kms. Our first
night’s accommodation
will be at
Trinity Lodge
/ Darling Lodge |
|
|
|
|
The 4-star graded Trinity lodge affords you comfortable, private
accommodation in double en-suite
bedrooms each tastefully furnished with
hand embroidered linen and goose-down
duvets. Modern country cuisine is served
in the restaurant or on the patio
overlooking the swimming pool under the
old oak tree.
Sean McLaughlin runs this super
guest house. His wife,
Debbie, runs Hilda
Kitchen on the Groote Post estate
– selected as the Top 10 Al Fresco
Restaurant by the Eat Out Guide
recently. Debbie will prepare our
dinner for us tonight and serve it in
the dining room at Trinity. |

At this time of the year, the wild arums flower profusely
and are a wonderful photo opportunity.
We will take a slow amble to our next
destination (Nieuwoudtville). |
|
|
|
Nieuwoudtville is considered the Bulb
Capital of the World and at this time of
the year the fields of flowers are a
treat to see. In addition to the
flowers, there are several places that
are being added to this year’s tour –
The
Nieuwoudtville Wild Flower Reserve; The
Waterfall Reserve; The Quiver Trees……..the
list goes on. It is for this reason
that we will be spending 2 nights in a
guest house in Nieuwoudville.
Accommodation has been arranged at
The Swiss Villa (graded 4*). |
