I am not too sure of the distance but they left Eastgate this morning at 5am and arrived at Gobabis by lunchtime. Currently enjoying their time in Ernie's steakhouse in Gobabis. They had a beer ( I won't mention the brand because it was not a Windhoek lager) - anyway says Abe of Karin after a few sips "ek kon sommer sien haar wipers is aan".
They are so excited to get home - Abe christened the new couch in his mom's house Suliman (large and fit for Suliman and a few concubines) - he has sms'ed today he is looking forward to spending quality time with Suliman!
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!
Remember to look at the gallery pages - thanks to Nan we managed to get a few pictures loaded.

Hi Nan!
ReplyDeleteI wish you were here too-last year you and your family were so incredible when Abe was ill- it feels as though I have known you for a life time. Thank you for providing my child with a home away from home, be assured that Karin is just as welcome and loved by us as Abe is with you.
