Day 4: Warmwaterberg, De Doorns, Melkbos (300km)

During the night the wind turned into the first winter rains over the Western Cape and we heard the rain on our tents. By morning everything was nice and wet outside. As it would be our last day, we did not worry too much about drying the tents, we just packed up everything. As it stopped raining and we were not sure of the weather for the rest of the day, we wanted to get moving as soon as possible.

Archie suggested that we continue North on the Warmwaterberg road towards the Ladismith-Montague Oubergpas road. After doing maybe 10kms, we were faced with a locked gate at the Sanbona Nature Reserve.

We were escorted through the park and saw a variety of game, quite nice to see this from a public road !!

From the Oubergpas road we went North till we met up with the N1. On the N1 it was dodging the incoming rain, breakfast at Worcester and on to Meklbos.

It was fun to share this with my family. Thanks to Amelia for all the support.
