The riding into Stilbaai from Witsand was extremely tough, with heavy hills and tough roads, but it was most definitely rewarded! The first night in Stilbaai was spent mostly in the local Puffies Pub where I met the most incredible people and had a lekker time. Everyone I met in Stilbaai were extremely kind and accommodating, in particular a guy by the name of Rigard Liebenberg, who walked from Stilbaai to Durban along the coast earlier on this year, a great achievement! He invited me to stay with his family another night in Stilbaai. Thank you so much to Mr and Mrs Liebenberg and the rest of the family for your incredible kindness and care, I was fed incredible meals and was given a very comfortable bed to sleep in.
Rigard then rode with me from Stilbaai to Mosselbaai on his brothers bicycle, the trip took us to Gouritsmond where stayed in a very nice campsite after battling with long hills and rough gravel roads. The next day we cycled into Mosselbaai where we stayed with friends of Rigards. Again I was spoilt with delicious foods, in particular a snack consisting of avo and prawns with the best sauce I have tasted! Thank you so much to Rene and your family for all the hospitality and great food!
Riding with Rigard has definitely been one of the highlights of the trip for me, I learnt a lot from him and hope to do another trip with him sometime.
Todays cycling was very nice and chilled, there were some heavy uphills but I was always rewarded with lekker views! Again I experienced awesome kindness when I was offered accomodation in George but unfortunately had to turn it down. Thank you to the Strydom family for all of your kindness:)
And thank you to everyone who has been supporting me through my travels, it really is much appreciated!
