We woke up to cold and fresh but crisp and sunny winters morning. We had a really good breakfast and planned our route to Bloemfontein. The goal was again to maximize dirt road, but we had to balance that against arrival time as we were to meet our friends at 16:30 odd, so had to put some tar sections in just to ensure we made it on time.
As we pulled out of the lodge, we passed a pre-primary school and based on previous experience in Africa with Kids (see
Kids in Africa are Happy and love motorcycles), where they simply love motorbikes, we felt we had to drive past twice and get them happy and excited. So Richard went back and rode past revving the bike and the kids loved it. I took the pictures. This is where a good zoom would have been fantastic.
