Wel na ses dae op die pad begin ek nou eers besef dat die trip ‘n werklikheid geword het. Elke kilometer wat ek aflê besef ek eers hoe bevoorreg ek is om in die posisie te wees om hierdie tog aan te pak.
Wat het tot dusver gebeur? Ons het vertrek uit ‘n nat en reënerige Kaapstad saam met met vriende René, Johan en André om so 09:30 en vat die lang pad aan Springbok toe. Gelukkig klaar die reën weer op net buite Malmesbury en kan ons met gemak ry.
Ontmoet toe hierdie Ausie, “Rodger”, wat besig is om deur die land te toer op ‘n gehuurde R1200GS. Glo nie iemand sal daai “bike” wil koop as hy met hom klaar is nie aangesien hy soos die die duiwel ry, maar wat ‘n aangename ou. “Rodger”, May you arrive back home safely in Aus and hope to see you back in SA in 2011.

Well after six day’s on the road, it only now comes to mind that this is IT, this is for real. Every kilometre I realise how privileged I am to do this trip.
What happened so far – 9:30 am, Departure from a wet and rainy Cape Town (South Africa) accompanied by my friends René, Johan and André. Taking on the long road to Springbok. Luckily the weather cleared just after Malmesbury and we eased into a calm and joyful ride.
While travelling we met “Rodger” (Ausie) on his tour riding a rented R1200GS. I don’t think anyone would purchase this bike once his done with it, riding like the devil, but what a pleasant guy. “Rodger”, may you arrive back home safely in Aus and hope to see you back in South Africa in 2011.
