Not quite the Titanic, but the barge at
Viljoensdrift
served as an ideal platform for
our three 'wannabe' actresses to act out
their version of TITANIC! Our lunch
cruise on the Breede River proved to be a
wonderful start to our 4 day trip away.
The food was attacked - "Hey I know you
didn't have breakfast before you left home -
but wow you looked SO hungry!" |
|

Our trusty friends, Hylton Ross made sure
that our trip started off according to plan
even though the N1 had serious road
construction! After several cell phone calls
to the combi coming from Constantia
instructing them the route, we arrived
within 5 minutes of each other.
Coffee, tuna sandwiches (provided lovingly
by Bridget and homemade biscuits by Ann) and
we were off to Robertson. In the photo
above Trish and Bridget arrive at
Viljoensdrift. Sometimes the
anticipation at the start of a tour is the
most exciting part! |

|
Linda and Joy immediately went into the little
shop - Joy trying to make notes of the very
clever way they had made some of the things on
display. Lunch was enjoyed - no-one even
looked up at the photographer! |
|
|
|
Trish and Denise deep in concentration listening
to a good conversation!
Gubas de Hoek
in Reitz Street, Robertson was one of the guest
houses where 5 of the ladies stayed. |
|
|
|
The Lemon Tree House in Robertson
was the second choice for the rest of our party.
We all unpacked, had a short rest and then
headed up to Gubas de Hoek where we found Denise
already in 'rest' mode on the hammock with her
book! Denise had expressed such
trepidation about the hot weather predicted but
fortunately there was a change in climate and
cooler weather accompanied us along our Route 62
trip. |

|
Balbina had set the table with grape vine
leaves, and lovely mealie dolls - such a good
welcome to our braai in their garden.
Bridget and Linda smiled happily at the
photographer! |

Wednesday dawned with rain
over breakfast. Originally we were
scheduled to go to the
Protea Farm
for their famous tractor ride. At
8h20 we received a call that our trip
was to be cancelled. Thunder and
lightning sighted as the reason!
Not deterred we headed straight onto
Ronnies Sex Shop. No problem
gathering everyone for a photo.
Denise and Ann enjoyed their cool beers
in the bar decorated with panties and
bras! |

The man photographed above apparently
always wears this shirt- I am sure he IS
Ronnie and this is his way of avoiding
being asked a million questions by
everyone who visits the famous shop on
Route 62. Second photo above shows
Denise, Linda and Margot chatting and
getting to know each other better. |
