Nobody drives the N1 for the views. You drive it because it is the fastest way through, and the trick is to break it up properly.
How we choose
A good farm stall sells something made in the area: dried fruit, biltong, rusks, a pie from someone's kitchen. If the shelves are full of the same sweets you find at a garage, keep driving.
Our rules for the road
- Stop every two hours, even when you do not feel tired.
- Buy one thing you have never tried.
- Ask what is fresh today. The answer is usually the best thing in the shop.
We have kept the names out of this post on purpose. Stalls change hands and close, and we would rather you found your own favourite than drove to one that has gone.
