Fields of flowers in the Karoo – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Fields of flowers in the Karoo: It's dry in the Karoo. The word Karoo doesn't mean "Place of Thirst" for nothing.

On the road north of Steynsburg I had to double take when I suddenly saw fields of yellow flowers and just could … [Read more...] about Fields of flowers in the Karoo – Featured Blog
