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!

Day 3 - Cradock to Middelburg
No news yet so I might as well tell you Margaret Thatcher resigned today, JFK was shot today, the Russians surrounded the Germans in Stalingrad today. In SA not a whole heap happened on the 22 of November in history - here is your chance!
I think it will be a great idea to have a quizz down at Henties- you are providing us with so much general knowledge about the towns and what happened on what day- Think I will organise that then we can see who really paid attention and read the blog religioulsy!!!
Hi Charl- proud???? My heart is almost too big for my chest- you are so clever with IT stuff0 can you not get the map off google earth a bit bigger? Welcome to our blog!
Make yourself heard. Today, 22 November 2011, marks an important moment for our democracy. After years of back and forth the Protection of Information Bill came before Parliament. The National Assembly has made significant changes to the Bill since its early formulations.
The Bill in its current formulation is open to abuse and holds the potential to limit the flow of information in our society. Across the board media owners and editors have expressed their opposition to the Bill. Prominent South Africans including Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Nobel Prize winner Nadine Gordimer, Former Ministers Ronnie Kasrils and Jay Naidoo amongst others have also expressed their opposition.
I am so proud of them!
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to get the map as a download or at least enlarged?
