A short break from Touring

Hi there
Well on Tuesday i decided to meet a friend in Knysna on my bike a 600km ride, he was catching a bus up from Cape town and collected his bike in George.
We then stopped at a gas station filled up his bike and headed up the Montagu Pass, it took a lot longer than just riding as we  took loads of photos, When we reached the top we turned right and rode on tar for about 45km to just outside Uniondale and took the R399 down to Knysna, as we hit the dirt road it said 83km to Knysna, awesome.

What a scenic road WOW
we were lucky that parks and forest had just repaired the road, although very slippery with loose stones, as Craig said "its like riding on marbles"

Just before 7pm we made it to the N2 just East of Knysna, where the shanty town is.
As we got on to the road the locals were busy blocking the road with burning tyres and barricades,
now here Craig and I are in the middle, the police 200m away on the other side.
Next a black guy come to me me and asks where we want to go, so I said Knysna, so he started to run towards the shacks and waving at us to follow him, He then showed us a small foot path and said go here turn left right left straight left Craig and I looked at each other and said whats there to loose lets go, Before you knew it everyone as we passed pointed in directions for us to go. Then we get a road great of we go round the corner shacks are built on the road, i look left and there is a deep gorge from water erosion the right is a path so we go right then there are chemical toilest int the road cant go any further.
Then a lady stuck her head out and showed us to pass her place and turn right , after manoeuvring the bikes we were back on a foot path and yea wow there was the main road with the police . As i got on the road the cop asked where the hell i just came from so I said Uniondale, he did not believe me.

On getting to the hotel  we took of the riding kit and went to Oldeis Bar and had a beer

a total of 14.5hrs on the bike wow an awesome day
