Jeanine on American Spirit masterminded a great train, winery and brandy tasting tour into the hinterland of South Africa along with fellow travelers Tim, Tracey, Brian & Lucy from Folie a deux and Finn from Nexus.
The scenery from the all day train ride was terrific and our stop for the night at the charming and historic outpost of Matjiesfontein on the plains of the Great Karoo was wonderful. It was easy to see the uniqueness of South Africa and the way it used to be. Mixing stories of the early diamond rush with the Anglo-Boer War and the Cape-Colonial Railways the visit was a step back in time!
