We knew we were staying at the
Jupiter Guest-house and restaurant but also knew we were very low on petrol so decided to get in quick in case they were not open early in the morning. We just managed to fill up before the garage closed and went around the corner to the Jupiter and booked in. We moved the bikes around the back near our accommodation and wondered how cold it was going to get that night, as this town was predicting an overnight low of -5C (in September -Spring here). After some red wine and excellent Karoo lamb chops we retired to bed very tired and satisfied it had been an awesome days riding. More to come tomorrow! bring it on!
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:
