We weren't supposed to visit Stellenbosch, a name familiar even to me, a non-drinker, as a noted wine region of South Africa. However when our bus arrived at a mountain tunnel headed for something called the Garden Route we were diverted because of a lighting failure which authorities deemed to dangerous for buses to manage. Instead of a sprint through the tunnel, our bus crawled up and then down a very winding mountain pass stuck between heavy industrial vehicles diverted for the same reasons.
As a consequence we passed through Stellenbosch where we made the quickest of comfort stops. It is a pretty university town which deserves better photos than what I snapped whilst toilet queuing.
The mountain pass route did provide us with some spectacular views of countryside although the winding trip made it difficult to capture those views well. This photo is the best of a poor bunch.
Looks like a rather nice area.
