It snows on the Swartberg range most winters! In Africa, until now I have only seen it from a distance, and once on Table Mountain. I traded my sunrise walk with an early departure from home up the Swartberg Pass this morning and am I glad I did:) Only about 10kms from my front door, I rounded a corner and there it was – a gentle sprinkling on the Bain’s built wall of the steep and winding road…for an African born in tropics, this is a special sight, unusual, unexpected and such a joy! By the time I got to the Tierberg lay-by, there was even more!
