Betty's Bay and the Overberg

Well most folk know that I've spent some time down in the Western Cape. I worked in Kleinmond for some time before convincing the entire company to relocate up to KZN where I've been for the last 7 years. Weather is better here, and I do enjoy the fact that English is the preferred language.

Betty's Bay is a coastal town situated between Kleinmond and Pringle Bay. Just off the R44 lies the Harold Porter National Botanical Gardens . This piece of land was bought in 1938 to preserve its beauty for future generations. Lovely walks can be taken here and there is also a restaurant within the Gardens that could be visited for light meals or drinks.

A visit to Stoney Point is a must. This is a breeding colony to the Jackass Penguin. You can take a stroll along the boardwalk and watch these cute little birds going about their daily business and if you are lucky you might spot a whale or two swimming in the ocean too!

The Overberg just didn't do it for me. But if you're looking for more info, check out Overberg Info on Twitter.
