Day 1 - Part 2

---

Of course now we realise what we forgot to pack - this time it was the chargers.

The Waterfront area in Cape Town is very trendy, loads of shops and restaurants. The hotel we are at is equally good. (Victoria and Alfred). So we bought new electricals whilst waiting for the room. Then a very nice seafood lunch at one of the marina restaurants and then an afternoon kip!

Pretty chilly here - I am the only man in this town wearing shorts.

4:30 and we collect the bikes and of course unveil the helmets to an appreciative audience. After mounting up and heading off in the wrong direction, we get back to the hotel where we hit the bar with Charley to get our initial briefing. It dawns on us that the terrain is going to be harder than we imagined and an "off" is inevitable. Pam looking slightly nervous.

Dinner is pleasant, but we hit the sack early. Lots of repacking to be compliant with Frau Su.

Pictures to follow!
