seeking the snowman

In the heart of winter, and in the heart of the Western Cape, when the rain has gone and the snowflakes have fallen; its then that you'll catch a glimpse of the ever elusive snowman.if you go looking of course, and if you have the heart for it.
As you leave Wellington you head over Bains Kloof pass, built by Andrew Geddes Bain, the first man to build a road across the Limiet Mountains, the main barrier between the Cape Settlement and the interior.

A stunning winding road with crooks and turns that will leave your stomach somewhat detached, leads you past Wolsley and through another pass into Ceres.Dont go after 4 on a Sunday though, because your already detached stomach will not be be fed by the irate restaurateers at this time of day.Tourism ends at 4 o'clock after all.untill next week that is.
Suffice to say that hunger takes precedent over any snowman, and the elusive carrotnose escaped our cold clutches for the time being.untill next year that is.
