Trip to South Africa for Toby and Maritza's Wedding at the Silver Sixpence.

1st to 9th June 2016.
Based at the Kloppenheim Country Estate Hotel.
 
Up.
  
Friday 3rd June.
 
    After a glorious breakfast, with a wonderful spread of fruit, etc and hot cooked food, we spent a very relaxing  day at the hotel. There was a reception in the bar in the afternoon for all the wedding guests already in the area. This was a time to meet some of the family and friends. We had been invited for supper with Sue, Toby's mother and David's sister, at the Cairnfern Country Lodge at the Silver Sixpence Estate, where many of the family and guests were staying. This was a mile or so back down the rough dirt road: not much fun in the dark! The electric blankets were wonderful when we returned to our hotel.

Video Stills. The drive from the Hotel to the Silver Sixpence.

The steep paved drive down to the entrance.

Road works at the start of the drive - the surface had subsided.

Stuck on the severe camber trying to get back on the drive: poor car!
