After a crazy rush the past few days (a last minute trip to Gauteng, some Moondance design jobs and photoshoots, a last minute scramble to sort out comma, etc) our trip finally got underway this morning around 10:00. Some kind folks saw us off at the start, including a 5-year old who desperately wanted to walk with us all the way to the Cape) and our short first leg to Humansdorp was underway.
Being so close to home, and on a road we know quite well, made the whole trip still feel a bit unreal. What is quite real, however, is the sore shoulders and tender feet - the typical effects of a first day on the road carrying a full kit. I trust we'll walk ourselves into a rhythm, but for now I know day 2 (53km to Kareedouw) will be tough.
Some of the people driving by were quite friendly, hooting and waving, and it was nice to have one car with 3 young people stopping for a chat.
The weather was nice and overcast but very humid because we're still so close to the coast. Still, despite the weather predictions for the day, no rain...
We're hitting the very dry Langkloof tomorrow, which should be interesting.
