Jo’burg to Cape Town

I took the train 1393 km from Jo’burg to Cape Town though barren dusty fields, snow capped mountains and sweeping vine yards. I arrived the next afternoon in CT city centre, laden with 2 enormous back packs on my front and back, perched on the top of my mountain bike - crazy foreigner look guaranteed.

I spent the evening with a family friend called Firle and her house mate Adam. Adam turned out to be a stunt man. I watched his showreel dvd he gives to companies who want to hire - imagine watching 20 movies in one go but only the crazy action scenes back to back. The most impressive one was him driving a car off the end of a half built motorway flyover. And the lift to the medical school with him the next morning - I survived!
