Nestled in the foothills of the Maluti mountains and known for adventure & art - Clarens is a
#BucketList
destination.
I’ll share a 4-Day Itinerary for those who are 1st time travellers.
Clarens is probably one of SA’s best klein dorpie destinations. There is so much to do hence you need a week to explore.
From padstalletjies to beer/gin tasting, cherry picking, cheese tasting, horseback riding, quad biking, art galleries to hiking and hot-air ballooning etc.

As a person with a darker skin tone of Coloured descent, this concern is not unique to Cape Town. Within the Coloured community, the complexion and hair type of a child become a source of stress right from the moment a pregnancy is revealed.

Often times, people are too vulnerable to focus on the logical aspect.
As much as support should be offered, I think it’s important to sit someone down and go through the pros and cons. We should then give them space to decide.

I love this question.
It makes me think about homelessness and how we rob homeless people of a choice.
This is why we cannot address this issue successfully. We decide what their needs and wants are without having conversations with them.
If someone asks you for water
And you give them bread
Does that help them?
So if someone asks you to show up in one way, how does YOUR own choice help?

My city's about 4 to 4.5 hours away from Beijing via the speed train, costing around R1200 one way. If you opt for the slower train, it takes 17 hours and sets you back about R300.
The distance is about 787 km.
So I reckon 30 hours from JHB to CPT is normal.
