Beaufort West
(Finally)


Soooo here in South Africa we have a fast food place called Nando's and lately i have been lovin' Nando's so Thursday the 12th when we arrived in Beaufort - West we quickly went to check in at our accommodation and then me my sister and brother drove to get something to eat. Nando's is quite big here by us, my sister decided to ask someone if there is a Nando's (but in English) and this guy is struggling with the English - when you start entering the Cape provinces you may speak Afrikaans you are not in Johannesburg :D. We actually had such a 'lekker' laugh and so there was no Nando's but there was a 4 SHEEP, which wasn't that bad at all! I had their Mushroom burger, very nice just a little messy! They also have a nice craft/gift shop down stairs and then the restaurant up stairs unfortunately it was a bit late so we couldn't sit and eat!


Accommodation: Young's Budget Accommodation.
We were very happy with Young's accommodation. My sister, her son, me and my brother shared a room and my parents got their own


Friendly people always ready with a smile... if you are ready with a camera!! LOVE IT!!

***********************************

On our way to Swellendam ...

I love these 'Padstalls' next to the road in the middle of nowhere. Some have biltong, droe wors, dried fruits (fresh), fresh smell of coffee, koeksisters, there are so many nice things you can get from these 'padstalls' - so if you see one... STOP!! 



 


 Unfortunately this one (above) was closed by the time we passed it!
