Baviannskloof (Baboon Gorge) – Ronnies Sex Shop

On the way back we made a ritual stop at Ronnies “"Sex" Shop. Ronnie (left) painted the name "Ronnie's Shop" on this cottage, planning to open a farm stall to sell fresh produce and fruit. His friends played a prank on him by changing the name to "Ronnie's Sex Shop."

Initially angry about the involuntary name change, Ronnie left the name and continued fixing the dilapidated building. His friends would stop by for a chat, having a few beers and throwing a couple of chops on the fire. During one of these evenings, someone suggested: "Why don't you just open a pub?" The rest is history.

Autographs, postcards, and business cards fill every inch of the walls and mementos hang from the ceiling –- including dusty panties that I hope never to see the size of again.
