We were on the old post road on our way to Fraserburg, which is 180km of pure remoteness. Difficult to find things to say about endless open space after a while. On this leg of the journey we passed another farmstead that looked like an oasis of green in a very dry environment otherwise. We then carried on and found a place where when it does rain it really pours, judging by the recent erosion almost taking out the whole road! We also saw more flower growing in the road which is a testament to how often the road is used.
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.

| We came upon a farmstead again with green trees and a garden - An Oasis |

| They must have a good source of water normally |

 |
| Back out into miles of remoteness again - look at how the road carries on |
 |
| Then we found a section of road that had been badly washed away |
 |
| This side was really deep |

| Flowers growing in the road again |

| Not often you see this anywhere else! |
