Chapter 4 - Sdelka in the Western Cape.
Sdelka on the Bain's Kloof Pass. A mountain road constructed using convict labour. Fantastic sights and scary drops.
Sdelka on the Cape to Namibia Route. We met a couple who had driven here from Washington USA, via Canada, UK, Europe, Northern and Western Africa. Very cool.
Some of the scrubland up near to Clanwilliam, the Red Bush tea capital of the world. Here is was 38c (100F). Even the wind was 38c, it was like being in a giant hair dryer.
The place has a few crazy little places like this!
Yes, it is what you think it is. Sdelka excluded to save her blushes.
Franschoek is one of the S. African wine areas and a beautiful place, filled with beautiful people, with lots of beautiful wine, beer, food and lots of money. The cars are from a private collection.
This is a Ford Capri Piranha. A S. African modified version of the UK Ford Capri which is built with a V8 engine from a Mustang. I'm in love.
Sdelka came beer tasting with us. She was too drunk to be photographed, but the bar is a very cool place.
Yes, that's deep fried chicken skin!
Afternoon tea (red bush (aka Rooibos in Afrikaans) with Milk Tart in a little tea room in Clanwilliam.
Finishing our 3 week trip on the West Coast of South Africa. Amazing coastline with the beautiful and scary Atlantic sending us off to sleep at night.
Cheers to everyone from me, Mrs AM and Sdelka from our South Africa trip.
I'll next take some local pictures of castles, canals, landscapes and Dragons. Then Sdelka will be off to pastures new.

[emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] Amazing! That looks like such a fun adventure. I am stoked that the timing worked out so that Sdelka could tag along on that journey. Very well done, and thanks for sharing not just the pictures, the whole story. Pure awesomeness.

Wow [mention]Animal Mother[/mention] !!! You have raised the bar.
Re: The Traveling Komandirskie. Who wants it?
I am not just saying this because it's my watch on the journey, or because I have been drinking, but this has already been the best traveling watch thread I have seen. Well done guys!!! Can't wait to see the rest!!

Three continents by four members?
Re: The Traveling Komandirskie. Who wants it?
I should note that anyone that gets Sdelka after me will be fine as I am going to be setting the bar very low.

Depending on when we get her, there may just be a bunch of snow covered pics in Boston and NYCSporkboy wrote:I should note that anyone that gets Sdelka after me will be fine as I am going to be setting the bar very low.

Right, weather in Wales is awful so I think I'll let her get on her way. Who is next? Please let me have your name and address and I'll get her sent over. Poland I think?
Re: The Traveling Komandirskie. Who wants it?
I guess I'm next and I agree that the bar is set absurdly high now lol. Will PM you in a moment.
