Onward and west! As we bid farewell to Knysna, a chameleon rejoices in its newfound peace, and in George, we visit a perhaps 600-year-old oak tree that speaks its story without a word. An iron chain is embedded in its mighty trunk, once used to bind slaves in the marketplace.

January 20, 2025,53.1- Oudtshoorn - Swartbergpass - Calitzdorp

Tar until shortly after the turn off to Matjiesrivier/Calitzdorp. Swartbergpass itself is gravel of varying quality, loose in parts and with a few very steep stretches. Stunning views! Went up just for those and the fun of it, and then back down same side to proceed to Calitzdorp.
