After a day lost to the incessant rain we decided to take the weather head on. Puddy donned a safety vest for visibility, tucked his head and pushed hard against the miserable conditions. He did surprisingly well and totalled a distance of 33 km’s with an average of 45km/h, pretty fast considering that the road is wet making it really slippery.
Two German tourists drove by and pulled us off farther down. They were travelling up the coast themselves and enquired about the cause and initiative. The Tazz also started overheating during the course of the session, stalling progress for another 15 min; someone forgot to check the radiator... To top it all, the roof of the van started leaking leaving the back of the van somewhat unpleasant.
After we got back on the road Max went along to Swellendam where he was set to rig accommodation. The Swellenberg Hotel in Swellendam has agreed to provide three nights free of charge accommodation.
A wet but good day over all.
