Cape Town to Gansbaai

Whoopsies - I just realized I haven't written anything here since I was on holidays in Malawi! THese riders must've been keeping me busy!! TDA has finished for another year and now I have 3 more weeks until my next job starts (which involves nursing on Mt Ruapehu - right on the ski field in nz- lifes not bad eh!). There's plenty to do in that time though! First I have to ride my bike to Knysna! 10 days to unwind and explore South Africa after 4 months of hard work! There's no better way than on the bike! Bit of excercise, bit of chilling, bit of exploring, bit of Wimpy! So far I have made it to Gansbaai which is only 170km over 3 days! Nothing too difficult. The riding is beautiful- lovely coastline, beaches and mountains! It doesn't take much of a hill for me to feel it with the extra weight of the pannier bags though and because I haven't been doing so much riding lately I'm feeling a lite tired!! After that I sell my bike fly to Perth, visit Janey, fly to Brissie visit Mum and Dad, study for my ALS exam the following week, sell Hamish Corolla if that's possible in only a week, fly to NZ, buy another car.... Tomorrows plan is to get to Cape Agulhas - the southern most tip of the country! Backpacking here is a little lonely this time of year- there's been only me in my room for 3 nights in a row now!! I don't really mind though- it's nice to have a little space sometimes!
