Well This is George....And today is Thursday. No more do I have to wait for weekends to take my Yamahakikki for a spin. I decided take take advise from someone tor ride to work as much as I can. Well this week I went 3 days to work from George to Knysna and today I decided to take the camera along.
Well as I planned my day I've decided to sleep late this morning and will only drive to Knysna at 09h30. Well I am exited to go to Knysna once again with the bike. My first appointment will be at 11 o clock so i can drive slowly and with a smile. I went to the Engen Garage at Heatherlands to full up. R20 petrol to drive to knysna.
I will drive via 7 passes as usual. Starting off at Saasveld Pass.
You can see that today was a bright and clear sunny day with a lot of dust in the air. I crossed the Hoogekraal Pass shooting straight through Karatara and heading towards the tight bended Homtini pass. Never in my life have I seen such Hairpin corners. I took it slow around those corners because oncoming traffic used even my lane to corner and there was a couple of "close call's" to a written off bike
So I went through Rheenendal past Tottie's petrol station and turned left onto the Phantom Pass
Here I am Approaching the white bridge. Just a quick history is that we all feared back in 2005 due to heavy rains and flooding the white bridge started to crack and if this bridge would have been destroyed we all have to take the Prins Alfred Pass via De Vlugt to go back to George. This bridge is the only way out of Knysna going and linking George. On the left is the "gewilde" Lightleys holiday rental boats. So as een van julle op honeymoon gaan you will have a jol of a time because it's so private dat jy enige iets kan aanvang op daai boot
So now 2 hours on the road I am late for my appointment. The delay of the Knysna Lagoon road did not help me at all. When will they be finished?
Off to Thesen Islands where my office is
Arriving at the office i put the Camera down and go to work
Well I work for almost 3 years on Thesen Islands in the IT industry. Everyone knows everyone around the island. As I turned into the gate I saw oom Chris Mulder (developer of the Thesen Island residential development and i went to have a look at his T Rex custom build car

This is how a T rex looks like (half car and half a Can am Spyder)
In the summer we usually go for a swim in the Lagoon for relaxation.
Between the busy IT appointments I buy myself some VIDA-E coffee (R18 X 2 Cups per day X 25 days = R 900.00 is the amount I spend on Take away Coffee
So I took a photograph of the popular people and the atmosphere of Knysna
Well with coffee sipped away I went to my last appointment. This People is one of the most high profile client I can ever have John and Lia Van Seventer So i must give my best for them. Today's mission was only to fix a faulty ADSL router at their house. So I went up towards Eastford Estate and took some pictures while I worked
John and Lia Van Seventer. Unbelievable lovely people and I must count my blessings to have such wonderful clients such as them.
View from Lia and John's house facing the Heads
Another view from their house facing the Simola Golf Course and the mountains in the backround
Now that the ADSL is setup and working and the Laptops is connected via Wifi to the ADSL router it's time to move!!!
Now I must move to get back to George. The time is 16H00 and I need 2 hours drive before sunset back to George. So I left for George.
This is the road leaving Knysna towards the Phantom Pass
a Quick stop at Totti's garage to fill up my bike and the cost was R 25.00
The total trip fuel costs were R 45.00
We had a bike comparison test here. I lost because my bike as passive and he get's at least excersize with his bike.
Now I had to endure the Homtini Pass again. I stopped to take some pictures from the bridge on the Homtini river
Here I had to stop and wait for some Kattle to pass the road.
Sun rays coming through the bushes on my way towards Hoogekraal Pass
Now it's off to George and the camera was put away for the remainder of the trip. I took a very nice photograph as i came into Loerie Park from the Saasveld road towards the mountain
Well this was a very cool day and hopefully most of my days will be like this
