Our Dec 2005 trip from East London around Cape town to Lambertsbaai and back to East London. Total distance was short of 5000km in the less than 2weeks. We tried to do as many passes as possible, dirt and tar.I am not a big writer, pics is easier to do.I wanted to do a ride report a while back but was to lazy, so here goes.
Left East London at 6 the morning, beautifully day for riding.First stop Knysna, getting really hot and we desperately need a beer. At Wilderness and it is getting really hot.

The next morning had drinks at this nice place in Rooi Els, maybe the Cape town people know this place.

Inside the West coast National Park, water all around us, and the colour of the water is stunning.

At Saldanna bay is this great fish restaurant.Give it a go, when you go there it is great.

Local bird life and the fishers community is a life and well.

On our way to Paternoster was this beautifully place, an the old South Africa is still going strong.Apparently these people rent the ground from a farmer for the holidays.

Going from St Helena Baai to Elandsbaai and then Lambersbaai, roads are great. Where to now?
