Leaving Nieu Bethesda, we climbed out over some lovely hills with views back down over the fertile valleys and views into the distance. We stopped for a few pictures and then kept heading towards
Graaff-Reinet which in Karoo terms is the size of a city. In reality all towns in the Karoo are villages and this Graaff-Reinet is a small Town.
We also found a very long straight downhill where you could see for many km into the distance, see the pictures below. We were now off to a place called Desolation valley which sounds worse than it is!
This is the daily blog from Africa4Adventure.com. A short series on the Karoo Motorbike tour we took on during September 2011. See the plans for the trip blog here:
Planning a 6 day 2500km route through the Karoo maximising dirt
More South and
Southern African motor cycle tours on our list of tour route summaries are available, where we explore these sorts of
motorcycle tour routes. Just choose one of our
events and
reserve yourself a place on one of the future motorcycle adventure safari events.
