The Garden Route is a stretch of coastline between Port Elizabeth & Cape Town. Much lauded, its a playground between mountain forest & a picturesque coastline. Take a deep breath. You can smell the money.
With only two days left before I give the bike back, it dawned on me I had 1000K to do to get to Cape Town. That's about 6 hours on the bike each day. Its possible but the downside is you end up with the posture of a baboon. And they know it. As I was riding by, baboons seemed to jump out from the verge, gesticulate & jump back. They recognised one of their own.
The route is a coastal highway with mountains on one side & beach on the other. The road crosses many bridges that span river ravines.
I arrived in Knysna a bit jaded. The view over the bay from my overnight soon woke me up.
As did the Fork Tailed Drongo that could be fed by hand (I was told).
I took a walk around the harbor. Whether its the motorbike or the miles, I felt roughish. Nothing a few beers can't sort I thought. How true.
