An endless sky, a semi-dessert in its spring blossoming and full of green and some very hot days!!! This is the "little Karoo", for us it's been very beautiful! Later we cycle Tradouws Pass to the coast and reach the southernmost point of Africa (Agulhas), from there it is only a short stretch to Capetown...

| The only day of the trip you don't empty your shoes in the morning before putting them on, is the day you will find something in it! Luckily no scorpion. |
