Travelling all the gravel back roads between George and Jeffreys Bay in Western Cape in South Africa with 5 friends from Belgium.

We had bad luck right at the start of the trip. On our way to our starting point we lost the saddle of my bicycle somewhere before Swellendam and in a mad rush we had to replace it on a Saturday when shops already closed. Luckily we managed to get one at Cycle Worx.

The rest of the trip was a dream.
