Hey There Wild Dogs - I'm popping over from Sydney in early Sept for a conference & have convinced my boss that I need to arrive 4 days early to get over the jet lag.... I've got a DL650 rented for those for days and would like to see a bit of your beautiful country.
Here's my plan.
Day 1 - CPT to Infanta along the coastal b roads (take hand powered ferry over to Wilsand to stay the night).
Day 2 - Prince Albert via Mossel Bay, George, Oudtshoorn (I hear the pass from Oudtshoorn to Prince Albert is legendary) (Is this too big a day?)
Day 3 - To Barrydale via Laingsburg - too the the high country.
Day 4 - back to CPT via Robertson, Worcester.
I'm keen on a relaxed trip so I can look around with a bit of dirt to qualify as an adventure ride.
Questions: Am I being too ambitious? Last trip was Argentina which I totally underestimated. Ended up doing multiple 9 hour days just to pack it in. Yuck.
My SA mates say I simply must see Knysna and the pass behind it. Would this add too much?
Are there any other towns I should go to? Is Infanta a bit too small?
What about personal security? Any tips?
So many questions. Your thoughts much appreciated.
Drew.
