I had a two week trip planned to go from Hermanus to Richmond in KZN to visit family. It didn't quite work out that way but more on that later. My intention was to stay off major routes as much as possible and do a scenic trip.

Day 1: Hermanus to Prince Albert.
I loaded up and headed from Home to Bredasdorp, then up to Swellendam. Up the Touws River pass, Barrydale, Ladismith, Calitzdorp, Matjesriver road, up the Swartberg pass and into Prince Albert.

A quick luggage check, hadn't travelled with the bags before so wanted to be sure nothing was coming loose.

Old bridge over the Buffeljagsrivier dating back to the mid 1800's. The wood is from the "Robinson" shipwreck that ran aground in 1847.

Swartberg pass is just spectacular, only tricky part is the guys in bakkies coming the other way around blind corners.

Got to my Airbnb in Prince Albert for the night. What a fantastic day of riding!
