Well it all started here on the forum, requested some help and some routes to follow and well when i got to Boggomsbaai, I started telling the farther in law that i will be gone for two days to go and do the Baviaans.

Well long story short, farther in law and I are great pals so he said he is not going to sit and wait two days for me, leaving him with the woman  :mwink:, he going with, well a couple of phone calls and his brother agreed to lend his 650 V-Strom to him to join me.

Well here it is, 26-27 Decmber 2010.

Here the ladies took some nice pics of us and the bikes before we hit the road.

The horses (hell that 650 impressed me, he could almost keep up with me)

Well we hit the road and headed for Knysna!!!!!! thanks to Bennet who recommended that we go in via the prins Alfred pass to Uniondale. Well just after Knysna you take the Prins Alfred pass and head towards Uniondale.
