Two old folks visit the Midlands Meander

On Route 2 of the Midlands Meander between Howick and Curry’s Post, you can visit the memorial to John Goodman Household, SOUTH AFRICA'S FATHER OF AVIATION.
There is a story - or a legend - that this KZN farmer built, launched and flew a primitive glider around 1870, when the Wright brothers were still at school, and lived to tell the tale.
The Natal Midlands is an easy one-hour drive from Durban and four and a half hours on the N3 highway from Johannesburg. The area is quiet, relaxed, and lovely with scenes of green throughout. For atmosphere, you can stay on a guest farm where, as we did, you can take the guesthouse dogs for an evening walk.
Many years ago a group of potters, weavers and artists decided to form a co-operative and invite the public to visit their studios around the countryside. Today the Meander has 5 well signposted routes and is one of South Africa's most attractive tourist venues. You can visit around 150 destinations You will find craft studios and art galleries, adventure sports, historic landmarks and wildlife conservation. There is plenty of accommodation, conference and wedding facilities, food delis, coffee shops and restaurants.
