The weather caught us about 29k’s from Swellendam. Not too bad though. Lots of rain and pretty nippy. Were going to try to make Riversdal but decided to err on side of caution.

Today we overnight in Paarl. Meraai doing brilliantly! Those big double rear wheels have made a huge difference to her stability. Tomorrow we weather chasing/dodging. Hectic cold weather is waiting for us as we head towards Swellendam. We hoping weather allows us a couple of days in the Bontebok Nat Park. But its not looking good!

A visit to the quiver tree forest some 22km’s from Nieuwoudtville is worth the drive. The forest is situated on private land and it will cost you R50 to walk a 2.4 km route.
