An even quicker Drive-through of Darling [I'd heard about it, so decided to 'risk' taking a look] ...

Darling is a small town in a farming area on the west coast region of the Western Cape, about 75 km from  

Cape Town.

By the beginning of the 18th century about 29 farmers lived in an area called Groenkloof and on one of these farms, Langfontein, Darling was founded in 1853. It was named after Sir Charles Henry Darling who came in 1851 to the Cape as Lieutenant Governor.

The South African satirist Pieter-Dirk Uys performs many of his shows as Evita Bezuidenhout at  

Evita se Perron, a cabaret venue and restaurant in Darling. The adjacent arts and crafts market has been taken over in 2006 by the Darling Trust, a charitable organisation which addresses the problems of impoverished communities in the area through the establishment of grassroots projects.

Heading out and away from Darling - see how the land has changed after the flat coastal fringes around Langebaan ... now I've gotta drive to catch that plane!!!
