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

Day 8 - Kimberley to Warrenton
AJ checked in at about 2 pm this afternoon. Having a really bad day. He reckons the worst so far. The wind was really strong and almost blew them off the road. They say it is not a pretty part of the country - strangely scary. My sister Peta, AJ's mom persuaded him not to push closer to Vryburg but to rather find a small guesthouse and get off the road. By 4 we heard that they had found a little place to stay and as they moved their bikes indoors the heavens opened and a huge thunderstorm knocked out the entire town's power. Needless to say they are gratefully for cover and warmth. So is the family! Good call guys.
