Our next leg took us to Velddrif via Langebaan. The weather improved dramatically and we enjoyed a meal in Velddrift's famous Bokkemlaan. Bokkems are dried fish that the locals love to eat.Bokkemlaan has a number of very interesting eateries and we decided to come back to suss them out during the next few days we will spend in Velddrif in our time-share place, Port Owen.We aimed to do a lot of catching up with our documentary work as well as this blog and to do some marketing of TheBushdrifters and their website, which fell way behind due to our actually being busy driving from place to place and not taking time to do these chores.Well, Velddrif and Port Owen actually offers some interesting places and people which we enjoyed very much. We would like to go there again.The eateries in Velddrif normally offers traditional dishes like tripe, bobotie and others and it was one of the main attractions of Velddrif for us.
