Awesome photos. I love how you captured the essence of the time period; the town looks old, but it’s lovely.

In reply to sustainabilitea.We were apparently lucky. We were there in July and didn't see a single mosquito.No argument about the natural beauty of the area.

There’s a suburb called “Silverton” here in Pretoria, but it is not anywhere near as picturesque as the original!

Silverton is in a stunning area but I warn you that the mosquitos in summer are plentiful and ferocious as we found out many summer ago!! 🙂 Never took the train but the whole area is gorgeous.
