On Sunday 12th July we took a drive up to Crystal Springs where new friends Kevin and Zena Williams - who had camped close to us at Busa House in White River for the month of June - were spending some time at a timeshare they had there. WOW! What a development, with views that simply go on forever ... and a really great Bobotie that they had prepared for lunch.
Having last visited Pilgrim's Rest about 15 years ago when the entire village was totally shut down we were very pleasantly surprised to find that it has been almost totally restored, with little shops in every available space, and all of the Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants operating full blast.
Both the upper and lower villages were busy with people wandering everywhere - a really good sign for the future of the tourist industry in the region.
I have mentioned the beauty of this area at length, and once again I must reiterate that the mountains, valleys and forests are beyond stunning - every inch of the way is an assault on the senses. If you have never been here and travelled these mountain/valley roads, then make a plan to do it the first opportunity you get
