Finished packing after a log week, finally the day has arrived.
Unfortunately a bit of work got in the way and we ended up leaving late.
Only Paul and myself from PE. Work and possibility of rain kept other dogs away. :'(
Two of the guys expected from EL also stayed away due to weather forecast which fortunately was wrong again. :dousing:
Hit the tar From to East London. Serious head wind kept speed down and fuel consumption up.

About to leave Me on the red & Paul on the green KLR

Arriving at Rene’s farm.
We got changed, explored a bit rode on the barge, braaied, had sum more beers, then went for a late night barge ride to try catch mullet for Renes fishing at Mazeppa the next day. Had a great time, getting to bed at ±24h00.

Lots of tame wild animals. (giraffe, various buck, ostriches, wildebeest, and lots of birds)
