RE: Driving through the Tradouw Pass to Barrydale, Western Cape, South Africa: Crazy Milkshakes, Beautiful Views, and Beer

Small towns not so hidden as they once were, how lucky you were to have grandparents reside their now treasured memories.

Both Andrew and Thomas Bain have great history engineering roads in the Western Cape. Passes and roads to enjoy, now thinking back to what it possibly looked like back then with travel.

I always do exactly that, think about how things must have looked like when none of the established cities and roads were there. I saw in an old book of the 1980s or so, a photograph of modern Somerset West, and let me tell you, there was nothing there! Now, there is almost nothing "green" left, with so many areas developed.
