2 May 2013 Day Four

Today was a non - riding day. I spent most of the day updating my blog, or at least trying to. It wasn't as if it were difficult writing down what had happened the previous few days. No, it was rather a matter of trying to coax the photographs I had taken into making their way onto the blog pages.

Swellendam Caravan Park with its beautiful camp sites

I have a saying, quite familiar to those who know me: "Technology is wonderful ... when it works !" So, as I fully echo the sentiments of all who follow my blog (this pertaining to photographs as being of paramount importance to the validity of a blog), I'm going to have to update my arsenal of technological devices very soon, in order to be able to do the blog posts justice, i.e. visually enhance the posts by means of photographs. Please bear with me. I'm hoping to get this done within the next day or two. There are far too many photographs from, e.g. the Transkei, etc. that should appear in future posts!

Later I rode into town to replenish my food supplies and met up again with Thys van As, an attorney from Swellendam I'd briefly met during the morning. Thys very kindly invited me to supper at his place; an invitation I gratefully accepted.

I returned to the camp site at about eight o' clock and, seeing as there was a chill in the air, immediately got ready for bed. 

Tomorrow I will make my way to Stilbaai. Funnily enough, it seems that the town is known and referred to only by its Afrikaans name.
