Day 54 and home!



Top of Signal Hill - almost the end

Our first view









We got away from Clan William quite excited for the ride in to Cape Town. There was acertain amount of joking as were ahead of schedule and the dreaded P word was mentioned, in a whisper.
It didn't take long. 10 km out of town, while waiting for Mike to take some photos, I went off the road onto the gravel for a few meters and the impossible happened. Number 21. Quite difficlut to believe.
It was a fantastic day with impossibly blue skies. At 2 degrees it was quite chilly starting but by the time we arrived it was up to about 19. There is no doubt about the Cape's beauty, the country side was stunning and the ride in was amazing. Africa has a lot of very beautiful places and the Cape is one of them.
Being 20 minutes early we shot up to Signal Hill for a view of the city. Unbeatable. Nothing could have presented the Cape in a better light.
We still had to reach the finish line so didn't wait long and then headed off down the hill.
Later. (About 10 minutes.)
