Day 1: (Wed) Cape Town / Oudtshoorn
We depart by 07h30 and travel via the town of Montagu on 'Route 62' (South Africa's version of America's famous 'Route 66') to the pretty village of Barrydale where we stop for tea (own account) at the Country Pumpkin Restaurant. Then on to Oudtshoorn, known as the 'Feather Capital of the World' thanks to its huge ostrich industry. After a fascinating tour of an ostrich farm, we go underground to marvel at the icy formations in the Cango Caves, regarded, for good reason, as one of South Africa's most spectacular natural wonders. We overnight in a Oudtshoorn hotel.
Accommodation: Queens Hotel or similar

Day 2: (Thu) Oudtshoorn / Knysna (BD)
