Day3
Very cold  and wet in Springbok tonight, got caught out with the rain in Garries and the road to Hondeklip Bay was a river so we diverted the tour to Springbok. Tomorrow we wil go to Port Nollith and then Sendelingsdrif. The weather looks good up north  so we will push on, we are bikers after all!!

At Garries hotel where we spend a good couple of hours before we left for Springbok in 5 degree wet rain, it was fun!!

Found This amazing place in Springbok called the bikers lodge, your bike sleeps next to you in the bed.

Day 4

We had a good rest in springbok and warmed up very nice in the lodge to find it still raining on the way to Port Nolloth where we had a nice pizza at Vispettis. We rode to Alexander Bay and on to Sendelingsdrif where we spent the night. It was a great ride that started very cold and ended very warm.
