Day 01


Official Start
Roger hurried the team to depart for Tableview  pics of all the cars lined up with Table Bay in the background.  We had had a very luxurious start to our adventure, and then we were heading northwards on the famous N2 highway, where we passed wheat and started climbing the Piekenierskloof Pass.  Ian and Val blew a head gasket of their Mgb and were delayed for a day while a new gasket was sent from Johannesburg. The splendid spring flowers of Namaqualand kept our cameras clicking to Vioolsdrif, on the South African side of the Orange River, where we spent the evening at a delightful  tented stopover. We enjoyed the pizzas and dawn birdsong. 








Stop at Namaqualand..
somewhere at the Orange River..
