S1 – Ep 124 – Exploring the Elgin Valley and the Railway Market!

It was pouring with rain as we came over the Houwhoek Pass and turned off to the Houw Hoek Farm Stall. This farm stall was voted best farm stall in the Western Cape for 2021. It was amazing to see how neat this place was, not a bottle out of place. Even the veggies looked great! Then we went over the road to the Houw Hoek Hotel. I found myself feeling nostalgic while I was walking through the oldest hotel in South Africa. I could just imagine the people and stories that could be told from days gone by. Again, we arrived at our destination in the rain. Loadshedding was in full force to welcome us as we stopped at Aanhouwen Cottages. So we decided to go and explore Elgin and the surrounding areas to see what we could find. After speaking to a gentleman at the Elgin Station we went to the Elgin Railway Market and found out that it was open the next day and that a steam train would be visiting. We made sure that we were there when the train arrived! It was great to see an old steam engine again. The sounds were just fantastic! #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #aanhouwen #elgin #elginrailwaymarket
