We managed to make it to the solar powered electric gate of the game farm and then suddenly thought - oh no! What if this gate is locked? Because that would have meant going back all the way in the dark. Luckily it was as simple as pressing a large green button to open it, and it closed automatically behind us once we were through.
Then we were back on the main road into Nieu Bethesda. The road got a lot broader and more stable as it was used more regularly. We only had a few valleys left and we come over the hill and saw the village from above. What a welcome sight. It had been a long day, so now all we had to do was find some accommodation in the village and a place to have some dinner.

| We arrived at Nieu Bethesda village just as the sun had set |
 |
| Blasting the last few Km into the setting sun - always difficult on the eyes |
 |
| We reached the end of the game farm and had to figure out how to open the solar driven electric gate |
 |
| Once back on the "main" dirt road to Nieu Bethesda it was easier again |
 |
| It had been an Awesome ride in the latter part of today |
