One more day riding in Africa.
Midrand to Colesberg.
Left family after taking my nephew for his first ride on a GSA.
To arrive in Colesberg in the Northern Cape, one has to ride through the Free State, which has a very unique landscape.
Saw lots (over 15 patrols) of police on the road. Many of the patrols had laser guns and were checking for speed. Highly recommend keeping speed limits. I thought USA 🇺🇸 was the highest in terms of traffic police per inhabitant, but South Africa 🇿🇦 surely feels even higher.
Most people we met first address you in Afrikaans and then switch to English once they realize you do not "praat" (speak).
The best meals to have in South Africa 🇿🇦 is steak. We stopped in Kroonstad and I had a T-bone and Paula a fillet. The greek salad and the sweet potato fries were great. The coffee was horrible.
In Bloemfontein we stopped at the BMW Motorrad dealer and the bike was a big success. They had never seen anything like it. Lots of photos were taken.
The bike is losing oil so will have to stop in Cape Town to change sealants. Not too much oil is coming out so we should be able to make the 1,000 kms we have left to Cape Town.
On the way got a beautiful Southern Hemisphere sunset. Just gorgeous ...
Longer day than we expected but we are safe and sound at our guesthouse for the night.
