PILGRIM'S REST


 Garage/Gas Station
While on our scenic drive through the mountains we stopped at a South African National Monument known as Pilgrim's Rest. It is like stepping back in time. An entire town is dedicated to life in the early gold rush days of the late 1800's and early 1900's. Vendors were selling all types of nuts and crafts. The streets are lined with shops, museums, restaurants, and a beautiful hotel. We enjoyed strolling through the town, picking up some souvenirs, grabbing a bite to eat, and learning a little about the gold rush days.
