A morning on a Karoo Farm

Our usual go to stop for an overnight in the Karoo was fully booked, so we ended up on a farm just outside Beaufort West. I did miss the walking at Steenbokkie Nature Reserve but it was interesting to wake up and walk around a seed farm.

The farmer buys in onions, spring onions or carrots and grows them for seeds for a seed merchant. A first for Fred and I.

We did a brisk walk along the road to stretch our legs before the next leg of the road trip to Cape Town.

Of course, all walks are really about finding that good cup of coffee, which we did at our stop in De Rust. The Village Trading Post is a gem with delicious food.
