The main route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town has by-passed the city of George for many years now and it has been a long time since we stopped in at George. When you are going from point A to point B the inconvenience of stopping to smell the roses sometimes does not seem worth the extra travel time.
On our last trip to Cape Town we spontaneously decided to do the detour through George and what a well worth while decision that was. As we were leaving the city, we saw a sign to the right proclaiming the Railway Museum. Some quick and fancy maneuvering in the traffic got us to where we wanted to be.
When we arived we were told the Museum was closed as the facilities were being used for a decor expo as the stall holders were busy setting up their stands. After a little persuasion we were let in at no charge.
