We started our trip traveling about half way to Cape Town.
OUR RIDE
It was great having a trailer! Otherwise we would have been a little cramped inside. I bet you would never guess this car could fit 6 people (and we were all comfortable).
Pit stop to eat
We stayed at a place called Forever Resorts Gariep Dam. It was a great place to stay.
Putt Putt for the kids,
with a trampoline in the middle of the course. Scott and Scott's Dad had to try it out!
a nice chalet to stay in,
and the visit to the Gariep Dam.
Mom and Dad
It was a beautiful drive up.
THE DAM
I get conflicting info on how big the dam is so this is me combining all the data into one answer. It is 914 m long and 88 m high. It is considered the largest Dam in South Africa
A road going across the river at the bottom of the dam.
It was a great first day! No bickering in the car - only voice that was vocal was mine being a HUGE backseat driver. It only go worse as the days went on. I told Scott next road trip -KNOCK ME OUT!!
Day 2 Sneak Peak:
The scenery was amazing!! I never knew there were so many mountains in South Africa.
