It’s 11 30 and the kids are safe in Bray- the gravel road is in a very bad condition and I think they were relieved when the Dr in Bray’s wife, a Mrs Barnard, stopped and offered them a lift for the last 30 km’s which they gladly accepted. Abe says the people are so incredibly friendly and we need especially to mention MC Eloff, the kind gentleman where they are sleeping over this evening, who has just handed over the keys to his Land Cruiser station wagon to them to drive around in and for them to cross the Botswana border quickly if they want to go and have a look! Abe has managed to find our old house ( it was never our home) just across the road from the school and they are now having lunch in a restaurant owned by a guy who was at Boland Landbou with Abe- he has just recently moved to Bray- Abe says “ Ma, ons altwee skrik ons vrek toe ons mekaar sien!” They sound so happy and say they love us all.
On the 20th of November 2011 my nephew and his girlfriend left Grahamstown on an epic bike ride to Windhoek. This ride covered more than 2000 km's, over three countries in 20 days. This is that story. Grahamstown, Bedford, Cradock, Middelburg, Hanover, Phillipstown, Orania, Hopetown, Kimberley, Warrenton, Vryburg, Ganyesa, Bray, Werda, Khakhea, Bulukubalo, Morwametsi, Kang, Thootsa, Buitepos, Gobabis, Witvlei, Seeis, Windhoek!
Heading towards Seeis
