Swartberg Pass

Last weekend, whilst idling my time away at the Buff, I had a choice... spend the day watching loads of people drink, get drunk, make idiots of themselves and bugger up their bikes, or disappear into the wild blue yonder and go adventuring. The latter won out.

====My Biking experience====

We (JdJ & Tracey) did this trip whilst our friends Wayne and Joe embarked on a 5500km trip from Cpt to Jhb, Lowveld, KZN, Garden Route and back.....we wanted to be with them but could not stay away from home for so long and therefor decided on a shorter trip.... The plan was to from Cpt go to Struisbaai, from there to Prince Albert, then to Addo to the Elephant Park then Bathurst to visit a friend, then to somewhere between PE and Struisbaai and for the last day to Franschoek on the 25th Dec for Xmas lunch with family - all more or less about 2000km's. Day 1- Cpt to Struisbaai We have done this so many times that we can almost do this trip with closed eyes. We decided to stop at the botanical garden just outside Kleinmond for a light lunch.
