13 - Oudtshoorn to Stellenbosch
Ah, yes, furnature.
Sign on one of those claw-grab type arcade games in Barrydale: "If you do not intend using the sponge please return it to the shop. Thank You!"
River crossing, Breede River.
12 - Cradock to Oudtshoorn
Up at 04:45. What a glorious day for a ride. Early morning sun on a very very Straight Road between Cradock and Bethesda.
06:00 - Spotted this cheeky fellow only yards from the roadside. Behind a flimsy fence thankfully. Not sure who would have come out worse following a collision..
Unbelievably scorching temperatures in the Karoo just east of Willowmore. Not a place to be standing around in full biker outfit taking snapshots of rusty signs.
Vondeling train station.
Dwellings in Vondeling.
More dirt, dust and feckin sheep in the Karoo.
Klaarstroom.
Incredible Meiringspoort Pass just north of De Rust. The picture does it no justice.
Cradock, Graaff-Reinet, Aberdeen, Willowmore, Vondeling, Klaarstroom, De Rust, Oudtshoorn.
11 - Transkei to Cradock
Jan 1 2012. Just crawled out of bed and successfully crawled down the slippiest hill in the Eastern Cape. "Bleary-eyed" would be an understatement.
Púcán's first taste of tar in many many days. Looking fine and rugged.
Main St, Tarkastad.
Royal Hotel in the utterly backward Tarkastad. Not much has changed here since its erection in 1912 methinks.
A close-up of Tom (?) the jolliest kitchen assistant in all the Eastern Cape.
Hole In The Wall, Umtata, Ngcobo, Cofimvaba, Queenstown, Tarkastad, Cradock.
10 - A few NYE snaps
9 - Trail Running Transkei
8 - Transkei day tripping
7 - Some Social-ising
6 - Finally at Hole In The Wall
Tigín Geraghty.
Decent view when braaiing and beering.
View of Whale's Back from the front lawn.
Frank, Dougie, Guinness and Murphy for sundowners on Whale's Back.
Miss Nicola on the Whale's Back.
On the stroll to the Hole.
Hole In The Wall.
Hole on the Hill.
(click to enlarge!)
Decent fixer-upper with unspoilt sea view.
08:30 Christmas morning on Púcán Bán.
