Join me on a multi day motorcycle trip in the Western Cape South Africa through different biomes from arrid to tree shrouded, from inland to coastal. And see some occasional animals.
The visuals were captured mostly using the Osmo ACtion 3 in Hyperlapse mode - to avoid being boring.
Day 1 Part 1.
Escaping from my everyday prison, I headed for the Hemel en aarde road toward a breakfast in Caledon, then headed to Stormsvlei and on to Bonnievale for my first petrol stop.
At the entrance to Montagu (not the Monstergoo that had anything to do with the Crapulets) I went through the Kogmanskloof pass for a peek at the old English fort (1899) (That is fort with an O not an A).
Then on to the Tradouw pass where in the past I have passed more than one night asleep on the table at the picnic spot by the waterfall - magic place to wake in the morning.

Music:
Missing Persons - Jeremy Blake
Left U Into (Sting) - Otis McDonald (1)

To be continued - part 2 My spirits rise like a bird over the pass scenery and almost crash my drone, to Suurbraak, Buffeljagts (and a nice goat or two) and set up camp in Swellendam for a nasty night.

Day 2 to the karoo - somewhere in the future...
