South Africa 2011
Whirlwind Tour with Karel Du Toit
We arrived in Springbok a day later than planned, so Karel was out of time to take us around to visit some of his favorite sites. We packed it into one 12 hour day. Basically sun-up to sun-down. 600 km all over the southern Richtersveld area. What a day! Home in time for steak at Tauren.
