Sorry not to have explained fynbos for my non-South African readers - on our fynbos safari the next day, our guide Jo explained where the term came from. Apparently Dutch settlers on arrival at the Cape reported back that there were no good-sized trees to build with, only fynbos - fine wood - all the small scrubby bush that is the indigenous plant life of a large area of the Cape.Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594062064082350697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-65400185063132719572013-04-17T18:43:02.224+02:002013-04-17T18:43:02.224+02:00Thanks ever so much for taking us with you.

But I loved the milkwoods. Sounds like we both have something to return for! The bath was amazing - I tried it out for sunrise rather than sunset and was duly smitten.Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594062064082350697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-7362260161518272452013-04-16T19:42:07.205+02:002013-04-16T19:42:07.205+02:00Oh how I loved Grootbos...
