Garies – Kamieskroon

31 Miles

Erik:

What bad day. 97% uphill. Mountains. 1000ft elevation gain in the first 4 miles. Ugh. It was rough.

We made it to a little town just as unfriendly as the last. The camp ground was nice though and so was the owner.

The only highlight were the baboons. Big guys. Just feet away. I'm glad they didn't see us. When steph first saw them I just assumed she was hallucinating because of the heat. Haha. 

Steph:

We were coming up a hill and around a switchback and I saw two large black thing moving behind the railing. Erik was behind me and when I told him he said I was making it up. But then we really turned the corner and this HUGE male walked across the street behind the other two. HE WAS HUGE!!

I don't make stuff up.
