KAAPSEHOOP TOURISM: One of the surprising items on display and in use here is an original sleeping coach of the famous White Train that was used by the Royal Family during their long visit to South Africa in 1947. This was the time when princess, later queen Elizabeth, turned 21 years of age. The last time we saw it in 2000 one could hire a compartment for an overnight stay! This train was specially built for the occasion and boasted cutting edge technology of its time, such as air conditioning and telephones. Not something that was normal to expect on a train in those days just after World War II! It's easy to note along the Main street.
