Day 1, 2011/05/02
Up at the crack of dawn for me. 530am. Do not mow when last I was up this early, let alone up when it is still dark outside. BBC has breaking news of the death of Osama Bin Laden. Let's hope this event does not have any negative implications for my bike trip through Africa.
Left Northcliff Johannesburg in thick mist. Can not see any of Northern Johannesburg. Off to David's Home in Kyalami.
Arrival at 7am on those nose. David looks all ready. He goes through the things he has packed. Makes me thing I have under prepared for this trip.
Myself, David and Warren finally hit the road at 8 am. We are off to Morloth Park next to the Kruger for our first night's stop over.
The weather is kak! Overcast and miserable. Not a good day for riding bike. It however, does not rain and we have a stunning ride. Arrive at about 3 pm, after stopping for some beers, worse and sweet potatoes for a braai.
Never been to Morloth Park before. Have heard loads about it from Rainer who, has a place there. Now know what he has been going on about.
We staying in a former lodge/B&B. Belongs to a friend of Warren's. Sleeps about 30people. We each have our own suite with double beds. Extremely luxury for the first night. Not sure that we are going have too many of these along the way!
Had stunning evening around the fire.
