Bicycle Tour: Day 7 - Half Way to Cape Town
The scenery has been awesome
At a stage when we started I wasn’t too sure about making it this far. I never hosted a thought of not returning to Cape Town on my mountain bike. The feeling of being halfway is great. At the same time my body hurts. Today my right knee seemed have decided it’s gone far enough. “I fear dear knee, you will not stop me, just slow me down”. Jaco has a mild cold / flu / throat problem which is healing well.Today was almost all downhill, it never felt so though. The Karoo is beautiful especially if you have time to take note of the smaller things. It’s a vast open area between two mountain ranges with the most common living thing being sheep. We did have some buck that got spooked and ran just ahead for quite some distance until we managed to pass them. Our accommodation for tonight is Dennehof Guest House, in Prince Albert.
