We drive further along the R27 West Coast road to the quaint little fishing village of Paternoster. With its natural beauty of the Cape Columbine Nature reserve and the Cape Columbine Lighthouse and to the southern end lies Tieties Bay with its peaceful ebb & flow from the Atlantic Ocean. And after the first spring rains fall the landscape is transformed by the millions of indigenous flowers that open and densely carpet the earth in bright bursts of colour (usually between late July and September).

We explore the town of Darling. Darling is a town in South Africa’s Western Cape. It's part of the Cape Floral Region and home to hundreds of species of flowering plants. The Darling Museum, in the 1899 Town Hall, traces the local history, including the 19th-century butter industry. We enjoy some Craft beers as we explore here before heading back into the City again.
