Tom: Western Cape

I don’t even remember where this is exactly, just that it was on a road trip with my girlfriend (now my wife) and that it reminds me of the wonderful road trips my dad and I took soon after arriving in Cape Town. To me there is something as iconic about road trips through the South African landscape as the fabled Great American Road Trip: there’s heat, weird characters, deserts, mountains, epic distances and internal and external challenges to overcome. It’s probably true of road trips in general, but it seems especially so at the southern tip of Africa.
