You entered the Western Cape 150 km

back when you crossed the Tankwa River

halfway between Sutherland and Ceres,

but it is only when you stop at the top of

the Bainskloof Pass and see the Boland

vineyards below you – with Table Mountain

on the horizon – that you know you’re in the

Cape. Welcome.
