We had a thunderstorm in Piketberg while we
were braaing and with the extensive view we had it was spectacular. Nic loved
the open space of the farm and almost ran in circles with the delight of not
being confined to the back seat of the car. On the whole Nic has been ultra
patient and good as a passenger and do we care if he stands on his head from
time to time!
We hit rain for the first time but it did
not last long. We have been very fortunate with the weather – virtually no
rain, only two days of wind and very little debilitating heat. The road was a
little hilly but for two now very fit cyclists, it hardly made a dent in their
speed.
We phoned ahead to accommodation but it
seemed as if it was not common knowledge that we would be staying the night. We
eventually found it in Malmesbury but it looked dicey so we politely told them
we had alternative accommodation. We decided to take a ride through to Darling
and while doing so Leigh used her iPad to scour guest houses. We found one on a
nature reserve that was affordable but closer to Yzerfontein than Darling. We
have arrived at the last stop of the tour!
