The Baviaanskloof is tough territory

We have been out of  cell-phone and internet range in the Baviaanskloof for two days. Now in Willowmore, 245 km into our journey. Yesterday we crossed 2 boggling mountain passes and ended up doing the last 15 km in the dark. Our hostess Hestelle at 'Dam se Drif' was wondering what had happened to us. So were we. On day 1, Steve and Hoffie took a road less travelled and also arrived 2 hours after dark. We climbed many meters each day - Hoffie's computer said more than 1000 meters on each. My knees say double that. Tomorrow's stage is ninety-something kilometers, but mostly on the flat
