Ali's Cape Town Photo Challenge

It is a place that intrigues me and I have a feeling it is home to many fascinating lifestories, if I would but take the time to connect with people and ferret them out!

The scene you see above is so typical of it - ramshackle old buildings adopted for a different use and adapted with whimsical and bohemian flair by new inhabitants.

And the dog - King of All He Surveys - as he guards his doorway!

What else it at Oude Molen and how can you find it?

On a more practical note, Oude Molen is home to

• the Millstone which is an excellent, rustic coffee shop as well as purveyor of organic bread (fresh baked daily), veg and preserves
• Gaia Waldorf primary school
• a run-down backpackers lodge
• a laid-back riding school
• an African drumming workshop and
• a petting farm.

You can find it on Alexandra Rd, Pinelands. (Turn left at the Vincent Palotti Hospital robots, opposite the Pinelands railway station. If you get to Maitland you have gone too far!)
