Day 25 - Calitzdorp Spa to Home Sweet Home

We were woken up by a crying baby at 2 in the morning. It went on and on and the parents did not seem to hear her. We realized we had been spoilt up to now with places with few or no kids.  We eventually got back to sleep to be woken up by people driving off to go to Oudtshoorn for the next day’s festivities.
We had to jump into the hot pools again before we left. After having to listen to a teenage boy who liked the sound of his own voice and seemed to have to regale his friends with non-stop nonsense, for an hour, we decided it was time to hit the road.
We stopped off in Barrydale for a bite to eat, first time for us. The service was slow and not good, but the food was delicious. The obligatory stop at the dried fruit shop in Montagu happened again, and then it was off home.
Nicole was really happy to see us, but we missed Ticky not being there. Heather had let us know that she and Kirsten had completed their 20km paddle safely which was a relief. She is only due home in a few days.
That’s all folks and I hope you enjoyed our ramblings and photos.  Thanks for all the support and encouraging comments. 
L:  Now it is back to the salt-mines so that we will be able to save up for the next of our travels…..We really are enjoying getting to spend some time, out and about, and experiencing new (and sometimes old) places. 
Cheers all.  X

On the way home


Sometimes it pays to drive the back road through a town - Montagu in this case.


We need to end on a sunset near Calitzdorp
