10 Day road trip to Northern and Western Cape

[Lisbeth]

That's why I never use GPS

I love the plants

It looks very foggy

[Flutterby]

Looks very different to what we're used to in Gauteng!

You keep breaking your transport, Harry...

Ja, interesting that tsunami...cold current there, you know!

I can just guess what your disaster will be...sand in the beer!

Doesn't look like a good weather for a day at the beach

Damaging your cars... that's what corrugations do for you Too bad that you can't shake off body fat with the humping und pumping...
I'd be slim like a steenbok or something. Aka, get used to it. You'll most like encounter some of the bad roads in the KTP too

Really not good weather for the beach

The road was not bad but there was these light ditches in the road that made my car go airborne once or twice, that got my wife japing that I should go slower ....Why I enjoyed the roller coaster ride

We took one off the gravel roads that looked ok to go explore the area

Bookworm stopped me as she thought she saw a wreck, so I pulled into a little road leading to the sea, we gpt out and walked to the rocks but no wreck so we went back and when we got to the car I new I was in trouble, I stopped in some soft sand .
I tried to reverse out.....the car just did not move although the wheels was turning, so we went forward and moved about 2 meters and that was it, no traction only sand flying all over the place . we started digging and putting rocks and the carton that my beers was in under the wheels .....we moved 2 meters and then the car bottomed out on the sand in the middle , after digging for 30 mins I asked my wife to phone for help and thank goodness help came quickly and R 250 later we where on our way to our chalet. My car had so much sand in I could supply a kiddies sand pit with sand Did I mention I don't like soft sand

The man who helped us said that he pulled Landrovers, Jeeps, Pajeros, Fords and some other 4x4 out of the same place many times and he charges R 1000 for these people, because they really bury their vehicles properly

Some more photos after we had a shower to get rid off the sand

This is actually a great place to go and stay just stay away from the sand

Is it on the beach.....or rather with sea view?
