Inverdoorn \u2013 A Drive on the Wildside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

A day that will live long in the memories.  A very early start this morning as we were bring picked up for a 2.5 hour trip to Inverdoorn<\/strong> <\/a>so we could (hopefully) see some of the Big 5 \u2026 and zebra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our driver, Richard, was asking if anyone had a fear of the mountains.  A little puzzled, but thought he meant fear of heights.  No-one said anything otherwise so we headed off.  It was pitch black as we headed out of Cape Town, but very soon, the mountain ranges ahead we being silhouetted by the sunrise.  Just stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We headed towards Paarl and then through wine country up to the Bainskloof Pass<\/strong>.  Those in the back were pretty relieved that the windowed were fogged up \u2026 although Jon had a pretty good view from the front seat.  Very steep drops but the views were stunning.  A couple of the mountain tops were covered in snow \u2026 Jon and Callum were in shorts and were perhaps beginning to regret their choice of dress.<\/p>\n\n\n
