Travelling through the valley of the<strong> Klein Karoo</strong>, we follow the winding tarmac of Route 62 today.<br />
<br />
Road trips in South Africa are an exploration of the rural highlights that dot the lesser-known byways of the land. And no journey would be complete without sampling the offerings of a <strong>&ldquo;Padstal&rdquo; </strong>along the way. These small farm stalls offer a selection of homemade treats and bakes and are an important cog in the economies of rural towns.<br />
<br />
