Port St Johns is the only last real, no rules, hippie happy place in SA. Stayed at backpackers and enjoy what they have to offer.  :flower:  :mwink:

It's 400km from EL, of which 350km is dirt and takes you the whole day to ride, there's no straights only run out roads with ruts, potholes and rocks growing like mushrooms. Freaking awesome!  :ricky:

We didn't take much pictures, in any case making time to have more beer is more important.
To give you an idea of the terrain, never a dull moment, the road takes you on top of hills, down through rivers and then snakes up the top of hills.

First beer stop, only to also be the last for the day, as you have to push a bit to get to ST Johns. Very nice oke, this CJ Nqabeni.

How's this for accommodation at the backpackers, there's a double bed in that tent. We only got to Port St Johns at 6:30
