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 19 - Nearly home
Things are changing by the kilometer. Abe and Karin are already in Omitara and are thinking of doing the extra 50 to Seeis. Andrew Murray Hofmeyr who is not only our gorgeous brother-law and source of huge fun and wisdom to the entire family and the most wonderful father and most talented Architectural draftsman in the country, has persuaded PETA that she cannot sit in Windhoek and wait until tomorrow. SO, a sunset picnic basket is being prepared for a dash to Seeis to meet them if they decide to go through. We will keep you posted!
