Off on our Bike Tour

All kitted out in our protective leather gear and ready to go!
South Africa: wide open spaces, big blue sky and glorious weather

As this post is aired this morning, we will be on our way to the Cape. Tonight we stop over in a little town called Aberdeen. We have booked a selfcatering cottage where we can relax after our first day back in the saddle since November last year. I've read up about the little town and see there are many interesting places to see and photograph (and blog about later on- ha!)

The next morning we'll carry on south to the Western Cape where we'll visit a friend living in "Wilderness" From there we take Route 62 inland and so we'll "meander up the road" to Barrydale where we meet up and stay with good friends. Then it's onto Knysna, a delightful tourist town on the coast. We'll stay the night with dear friends of ours who have a guest house overlooking the Knysna Heads. The next day we'll stay in a log cabin at Nature's Valley and do some serious birdwatching.

Once on the national road and heading back east up the coast again, we'll drop in on life-long friends whohave retired in Port Elizabeth. We'll spend the night with them. Our last night in the Cape province, we hope to book into a guest house called the Misty Mountain Lodge. The name says it all and I'll be sure to take many photos...

We hope to be in Kwa Zulu Natal by the middle of next week where we'll visit John and Debbie on their land in the Drakensberg. We're going to babysit the three children while John takes his wife away for a few days.

We'll be home, God willing, by next weekend in time for the dedication into the church of our newest grandson.

To all my fellow bloggers, take care and be blessed.
