Haha! Moertoegepomp!
You can go 100kmph on those long straight sand roads, harry!
The rocks in the sea look like hippos!
A different world, the Cape, so nice relaxation!
Do you have all the sand out of your nethers yet?
Thanks for an interesting story and pics!

Re: 10 Day road trip to Northern and Western Cape
Thank you for all your comments and interest
This was not one off our better trips but on some holidays you learn about places and this was one of those learning experiences, we should have stayed in Kathu and not in Kuruman, and we should have stayed longer so we could visit places like Hotazel and others(by the way my wifie didn't know there was a place called Hotazel).
We should have stayed at Hondeklip bay for at least 3 days and we should have skipped St Helena Bay and rather stayed in Langebaan but that's how you explore this country off ours......It's a wonderful place and we still have to explore a lot.
We are planning a 3 weeks trip end off 2019 or early 2020 but the route will be something like: Gariep dam(2), East London(3), Jefreys Bay(3), Knysna(4) and Strand(6) and 3 days to get back home
But first there should be a Kruger trip in August and then the BIG one to KTP in November
Thanks again
