Enjoy your videos. I see you travelled the Swartberg Pass. It looked a bit hair-raising in parts. My great grandfather was the overseer of the convicts that were used to build the pass in the 1880’s. Love your episodes.

Thanks so much for watching and for sharing this fascinating historical fact about your grandfather being the overseer! I found the history of the Pass so interesting and cannot believe that you're directly related to it in a way. Love it!!

Eish, so exciting! I once did this pass by accident (poor navigation, and I thought it would be tarred) on the way to Oudtshoorn in a Corsa Lite. Yoh, imagine that on the gravel.

[@SeeSalGo]

Yoh yoh yoh! Now THAT must have been a real adventure! Especially in a Corsa Lite 😂 Thanks for watching Amy 🥰
