Road Trip - September 2010 - Hermanus to Barrydale

My friends were off to do the Karoo to Coast MTB race and as they were making a road trip of it, I decided to join them and see more of my new country.
Leaving for our road trip

We stopped at the viewpoint on Tradouw Pass

Just one look at the Runner's feet and you can tell why he has switched to cycling...

So sweet - the Runner and the Greek's beds

My Xmas in July outfit

The hot chick in the middle was my date - she likes foreign men!


An angel?
Some people are just strange!

MTB afterparty

We headed out to Brenton on Sea for a braai after a morning on the bike and tough afternoon in the beer tent.

Post-race drinking games - the rules became interesting after a while!!
This guy made me a bit nervous - he even made me sit on his lap - WEIRD!!

"Hair by A3" a well known hairstylist from the 80's - apparently making a comeback? 

Breakfast the morning after!

Knysna Oyster Festival - July 2010

Love at the Breede



I met this lovely lady at the Breede on my way back to Hermanus. It was a short-lived relationship but a good holiday romance.

After an awesome holiday, we're heading back to Hermanus. Alas I am doomed to be a house-buoy.
