Trip from Durban through Transkei

I just got back from a 5 day roadtrip starting at the The Valley of 1 000 Hills near Durban South Africa, through the old Ciskei and Transkei ( Eastern Cape ) and then back home.

Here are a couple dope pictures from the trip.

The Valley of 1 000 Hills

These plants grow in the same place at some horse stables each year. They pop up all over the farm. Cannabis has been grown on the farm for over 30 years already and its a perfect climate for cannabis to grow. Almost anything grows in this area as its very tropical.

Had an outdoor meeting at Paradise Valley in Durban about consulting for a legal cannabis grow startup.

Stopped off at a artisans spot near Durban and saw his seriously cool sunglasses that are upcycled from old skateboards. The dude has been making skating ramps since the early 2000s.

I managed to go past a large town ( mthatha ) in the Eastern Cape and stayed over at a cannabis coffeeshop for a couple nights. It had dabs, hash, vape pens, flower and a small headshop on site.

They are 250watt HPS lights to help the plants stretch as they were planted late in the season.
