Second day - 5th leg - Stilbaai and Skulpiesbaai

This continues the series of my Motorcycle Adventure travels from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth which is the first goal, over a two day period. Details of the whole trip here.

I got back onto the tar as I came into the Stilbaai area but also got back close to the sea again. I saw a road that lead down to the Skulpiesbaai with a view over the bay, so I immediately went down there for a better view of the bay. Skulpiesbaai means Little Shells Bay.

There is a development here which looks like a fantastic place to live

Zoomed in on Skulpiesbaai

Old trusty steed still going strong and a pleasure to ride - even with too much luggage

Just to prove it was me here

I then drove into the main part of what is now quite a grown up little town compared to what it was when I was last here back in the mid 80's. I took a few pictures of all the "activity" along the river side. (one boat going fishing and a little old man on his mobility going for a "jog"!)

I watched these chaps fiddling about on their boat

I sat and checked my Sat Nav and realised that out of the full 552km (direct route) I had done 210km in a very jaggered fashion and I still had 452km to go, mostly all on tar and on busier main roads. I then decided to make the most direct and shortest drive towards the main N2 route, instead of some more back roads I'd initially planned.
