Mountainous South Africa
Oh lovely mountainous South Africa; bring on the mountains, the fresh air, glimpses of the ocean and loads of sunshine. The road? Well, it was paved, smooth, hilly and the scenery made you forget how the ups and downs were going. Actually most riders were a bit tired in the legs today but they were smiling and relaxed coming into the caravan park which offers a great view of the nearby mountain range and is relaxed, quiet and very green and reminds you of a hacienda in Spain or Mexico! In Rafi’s words today….’I love uphills’ and ‘Today is a good day’! Meals took the forefront in what was good about the day; egg salad, avocado and tuna, and beef sandwiches were all available as well as the usual staples of chocolate sauce, peanut butter and jam with the most juiciest oranges ever. Dinner consisted of t-bone steaks, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage salad plus garlic mash potato and bottles of red wine. If you’re a food lover then this bbq rocks! Tomorrow we arrive at the coast and the Atlantic Ocean! Many riders have made the claim that they will have a swim in the glacial waters. We'll see about that one but until then, bike heaven does continue….
