The West Coast Way Road Trip With A Twist

Although I was born and raised in Cape Town I hardly ever visited the West Coast. I was familiar with some of the names of towns in the area but if you had to ask me about them I could probably tell you that Saldanha was known for being a fishing town and that every year it is flower season along the West Coast, although I had never been to see the flowers.

Almost every time we went away as a family growing up we went up the Garden Route. Then I met my husband to be and he was from the West Coast. I found myself making regular trips to the West Coast for the first time in my life and very soon I was married and moving to Saldanha.

Now every year from August to September I am blessed to be living in this area as everywhere you see there is a blanket of beautiful wild flowers.

When I first moved here I struggled to adapt to living a slower pace of life and I felt there wasn’t much to do here, but as I settle into married life and being a mother to two beautiful children I am starting to see that this area is an amazing place to be.

There is in fact so much to do and see here, and the West Coast Way has gone out of their way to show you exactly how much fun there is to have in the West Coast.
