Road trip

The farmer loves taking back roads and exploring little towns and settlements close by. So last weekend was no exception. He drove via Riversdale on farm roads  to a little town called Herbertsdale.

Now, if you google Herbertsdale, this is what you get: 

Herbertsdale is a settlement in Eden District Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa.Village east of the Gourits River, in the Langtou Valley, 56 km north-west of Mossel Bay. It was established in 1865 on the farm Hemel-rood and named after James Benton Herbert, who owned part of this farm.

On route, we drove past TWO wine farms ( http://www.jakkalsvlei.co.za/ and Die Poort Wines ) and the town is so small, if you look down for 3 seconds, you'll miss it. The local farm workers still travel by horse cart and there is just a general dealer in town. Here you can buy from fish to renting a video! Beautiful. 

Here are some photo's of the trip:

I love snapping old ruins.

Every town has a church.

Enjoy your long weekend en safe travels!
