A Weekend in the Cedarberg

Two weekends ago we were invited, along with a group of Fritz's housemates and other friends, to spend a night in the Cedarberg area. These rocky mountains are about 2 hours from Cape Town, and during late winter-early spring are filled with amazing flowering plants and bushes, many of which belong to fynbos, one of the world's six floral kingdoms and contained entirely within the Western Cape (more on that later). We enjoyed the quiet (compared to the city!), gnoshing on lots of fresh oranges and naartjies (tangerines), playing board games late into the night, bushwacking up the hill to get a better view of a waterfall, and getting to know some new people.
