Day 1 (PEnis - Graaff-Reinet)
(Wednesday 11th November 2009)

Originally we planned to leave after work on Wednesday and trailer the bikes to Graaff-Reinett which will make it possible for us to reach Verneukpan in 1 day and sleep there.... so that’s what we did but we left a bit earlier so that we can do Valley of Desolation and drink.....

Our first stop was Jansenville where we bought some refreshments.

About 6 klippies en cola later we arrived at the Heerenhuys Guest House. https://www.wheretostay.co.za/heerenhuys/ Jannie managed to arrange with Willie en Koba Odendaal that we can leave the bakkie and trailer there until we return the Monday. Before we could unpack I was forced to drink some water with whiskey....

Jannie joined in and soon gave birth to a fantastic idea....... “let’s take a ride..... “

The next morning we planned to be on the road by 5am... we had 550km to do the next day of which 100% was dirt......... easy..... if you don't have to worry about flats, detours, friends, drinks and farm fences!

Day 2 to follow!
