All the passes we came across were tarred, except for the notorious Swartberg pass. I chickened out of this one, as did the others so went up it in the car instead.

Ok, about my trip and some photos.

Not sure if I should put this up in the photo section? Mods, feel free to do as you please.

Cape Town on the day I arrived. Was very windy but still warm, temperatures of around 30 celcius. It was also the day of the famous Cape Argus Cycle Tour. Apparently for the first time in seven years the weather forced organisers to physically shut down the race as the wind blew riders off their bikes between Llandudno and Bakoven.





Lunch stop in Kalk Bay with new best friends for the next two weeks. To my right is Jurgen, our tour guide. He was in the bakkie (as the South Africans say). Next to him is Pascale, 37 year old German rowing instructor. He was only with us for a day as he needed to get to Jo'burg in a week. To my left is John, mad, mad, mad 60 year old American, and next to him is 30 year old German salesman Sebastian.

The pingus look so cute and innocent but apparently they can be quite vicious.
