Deon, baie dankie vir 'n wonderlike naweek en 'n fantastiese einde van die "Quest for Gold"

Having breakfast

Before reaching our goal we had to have a bum-break:

Johan van Jaarsveld also enjoyed the ride

The fourth point reached for gold! What a great feeling. It was all worth it - seeing the country, making new friends and experience gained that cannot be put in words:

At the Evangelina Lodge Ina, Tertius, Johan van Jaarsveld and I went for a walk to look for some animals. We saw various buck but they were very afraid of people. Here we are at the dam next to the bar:

We had a great dinner:

The next morning we got ready for the trip back home:

As you can see, the Air Hwaks are on the bike and we will never ride without them again.

We had lunch at a great little shop that has the best ginger beer:

Well done!!! Lyk darem of die weer nie te kwaai was nie.
Ja, die Airhawks maak dit heelwat (ge)makliker. Pasop net - daardie strappies verloor!

Mooi foto's van julle 2!

Baie dankie! - Ook vir die advies van die straps. Surprised

Die weer was regtig fantasties. Soontoe was dit 'n bietjie koelerig aan die begin maar met die terugkom was dit regtig wonderlik. Ons het gehoor van die koue in Johannesburg maar toe ons hier kom was dit lekker warm.
Very Happy

Jis! Nou is ek sommer van voor af jaloers! Met 'n warm gevoel om die hart.

Geluk met die vierde stop

Ons weet presies hoe julle gevoel het toe daardie laaste foto gekiek is.

That was the good gravel road - you should have seen the road with the roadworks on the way to Morgenzon the day before! Cool
