Saturday

Early start at 6am, after car checks and fuel we were on the road by 6.30. We had a good run arriving at 11.30 with a couple of stops. One being at the famous pie shop in Riviersonderend for breakfast (not very healthy - but very nice).
We met Micky, Ray & Erin at the new shopping Mall just outside of George main centre, before following them on to Chareen's house. Chareen & Craig are in the States, so Micky, Ray & Benji (the dog) are down to babysit.
They live on Fancourt Golf Estate, and have a marvelous house - very much an ideal home.
With a quick turnaround we had a spot to eat, quickly packed some drinks, picked up Ed from across the road and drove hastily to the Train Station.

All 5 of us took the power van up the mountain. Erin was our photographer for the day.






We stopped at the top for a few minutes, whilst the driver flipped all our seats around for the trip back down.


On the way back down we stopped at a picnic spot, for a bit of tea and beer. Ray was nice and cosey in his blanket, although when packing the bag he mistook a can of Coke light for a beer, so he was one beer down.
