Trip to De Kelders – unable to leave

A long weekend so we left on Friday morning with the dogs. Easy and pleasant drive through Franchoek

Weather forecast got worse and worse and the weather got worse.  Lots and lots of rain, endless.  On Monday morning heard that there may be road closures so decided to get going.  We did not get out of Gansbaai/De Kelders, road closed in both direction.  So back to town, bought food from OK bazaars, insulin and petrol.  Luckily we have a little house with gas.  Settled in for a day without power.

Roumers that roads were open.  N2 closed at Botrivier so all traffic coming through town Stanford.  Slow through Hermanus.  Stop-go over Sir Lowrys pass as all other mountain passes closed and this one is single lane.  Then rioting at the bottom of the  pass.  A very long and stressful drive

Next – Cape Town to Kruger National Park
