Richmond, or Booktown as it is affectionately known as, is situated roughly halfway between Cape Town and Johannesburg. With its endless plains and koppies it is the epitome of a Karoo dorpie. The people here are warm and friendly and it provides a good rest on your long journey. Stroll down Loop street and visit one of only 2 horse museums in the world and then view wonderful art works at the Karoo Fine Art Gallery. End it all with a hearty meal at Die Vetmuis.
