Around Cape Town in 15 days in May (page 2 of 2)

Hi! I visited the Sevilla this year. Turns out I’d been there unknowingly about 15 years ago too. It’s not *that* amazing—after all, the Stradscaves are way prettier, even mesmerizing, with some stunning paintings. This year we got lost on the way there. A young South African couple got tipsy and it nearly turned into a domestic scene before we left. Otherwise, it was cool!😊

Stadsaal Caves—that’s the spot!

When coming from Mount Ceder, you can reach Sevilla via Wuppertal on a stunning first leg by 4x4. Then it’s a dirt track to the main road (at the intersection, there’s a grave from the Boer War). From there, you head to Clanwilliam via the pass.

For those who want to see the flower season… It’s almost a religious experience for many South Africans. There are plenty of websites and groups that track the blooming, giving you routes with even the best times and paths based on the sun and light. Anyway, it’s August–September, different each year. Between Clanwilliam and Port Nolloth, Springbok, Upington. Outside of this season, the first hour is… interesting, the second hour less so, and the fourth hour boring! !
