What fabulous scenery, I'd love to have been there on the bike. Mind you, not so sure about the cold weather, I'm definitely a fair weather pillion! We had great weather for our holiday, almost too hot one day - even on the move! Your summer biking probably feels like that all the time.Gennasushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780248713721642572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-61262087416241849392009-07-07T15:46:04.909+02:002009-07-07T15:46:04.909+02:00Hi Marju;) thanks for your kind comments.

Bless you.<br /><br />Hi Nan;) fortunately our winters are mild, although we South Africans complain about the temperatures. We always do long trips on the bike, winter and summer (4000 kms/w500 mile trips) but this time could only do a day sortie! I'll be posting on these soon. Thanks for popping in. (((Hugs)))<br /><br />Hi Jackleen; yes we do have fun and are blessed to be able to still do this. Trust you are enjoying your visit in the US. <br /><br />Hi Betsy;) THANKS! your Tail of the Dragon sounds awesome. We have a mountain range in one province stretches a huge distance into another, called the Drakensberg. Translated this is the Dragons Back but it's not motorcycling country, rather hiking/mountaineering country. We have been to these mountains by bike and camped in the valleys. Thanks for popping in. (((Hugs)))<br /><br />Hi Catherine;, thanks for popping in and your interesting comments on Tz. I'd LOVE to visit that beautiful country. Believe it or not, my hubby and I are planning a motorbike trip up to Tanzania to visit Lynda. It's going to be challenging but worth it all round. (((Hugs))) Jo<br /><br />PS Off to see all your blogs.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11666316882168582862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-73001265306528918692009-07-07T03:15:39.314+02:002009-07-07T03:15:39.314+02:00THese are beautiful photos Jo - I really envy you ...THese are beautiful photos Jo - I really envy you the bike trip through the bush and you seem to have a great sense of adventure. I always enjoy the posts from Africa and it is partly a nostalgia trip for me, taking me back to our years in Tanzania. The upside down seasons there were great, I loved the fires in our Southern Highlands home in Iringa in June, July and August, we had an abandoned kid housed on the hearth for a few months there back in the early 90s. Happy days! I guess S. Africa gets more snowy mountain ranges than Tz. which only has the equatorial snow on Kilimanjaro. Thanks for your comments on my post on BBQs - I replied over there if you want to see it.<br />CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617652323643666421.post-14777216131021938722009-07-07T02:50:37.487+02:002009-07-07T02:50:37.487+02:00You two must have had a gorgeous ride.

The area where we live, does experience a [light] snowfall every couple of years. By that I mean, you wake up and it's snowed during the night. The whole world is white. By midday or within 24 hours the snow has melted and you're left with mud and slush!

For instance, today in South Africa is a dull, grey and freezing day. If dh was here, we'd definitely not be riding out on the bike. We'd be doing what I'm doing: lolling on a comfy chair, (when I've finished at the computer) cat on lap, reading (well, I'll be knitting) and enjoying the warmth of our home. Thanks for popping in.
