Swartberg Pass

We (Jane, Bronwen, Chris, and I) left Capetown on Sunday, May 17 for Robinson's Pass (between Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn). We spent three nights at Cranes Crest Guest Farm while working there. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend it. The accommodations were very comfortable, the setting is beautiful, and the proprietors are very friendly. On Wednesday, May 20 we moved to Prince Albert, where we stayed at Acacia Cottage. Again, if you're in the area, I highly recommend it. Prince Albert is a charming town, and Acacia Cottage is a very comfortable, convenient place.1

1The views on the north side of the pass and in the canyon leading to Prince Albert are very impressive. The folds in the sedimentary rocks make the scenery very impressive. When I've had a chance to process and post photos, I'll post a link here.
