Last week I mentioned that I was heading out of Cape Town for the weekend and boy oh boy was it worth it!
Fe and I set off late Friday afternoon and arrived there after some serious fighting with rain and below average directions. Upon arriving, we were greeted with a sm:)e and pointed in the direction of our cottage. It was tricky to admire the setting due to the rain and dark, but we could tell that it was going to be an awesome weekend. Priority one was to get a fire going, which I did and the little stone cottage warmed up quickly. Lots of red wine and some great dinner went down well and set us up for a comfortable first night.
I woke up to bacon and eggs in bed on Saturday morning, this was followed with a small walk and then some fishing – The dam had unfortunately not been stoked in quite some time and there were no bass, so I didn’t manage to catch anything – Next time I’ll be more prepared. After fishing, I made a fire and we braaied some wors and chops and then just enjoyed the peace and quiet.
We also took a trip into Talbach and visited a small art gallery and craft store, they had some beautiful art, but nothing which would suite my flat unfortunately. Talbach is quite a beautiful town, I’ll definitely go back there again to explore.
All in all, it was a fantastic weekend, I can’t wait to head out again.
If you’re interested in staying at Welbedacht, please make sure you visit their website here. I would definitely recommend it!

I tweeted using the hashtag #roadtrip, which I soon after realised wasn’t too unique, so sorry to anyone who was following. If you’re interested in a bit of a time line for the trip, here are the links in order from oldest to newest:
