Day 19: Caledon - Somerset West

Total Distance Covered: 1,916 km
Distance Remaining: 94 km

We were all extremely tired this morning and had a hard time getting out of bed.



After a delicious breakfast, we hit the road. Now that we’re getting so close to Cape Town, the traffic has become extremely heavy. Thankfully, we had a pretty light day of hiking as we only had to cover 93 kilometers. Again, the mountains in the distance and the vast open scenery was gorgeous!

It was quite amusing at one point…having hiked 8 kilometers, Ikumi came up to the van complaining about something poking her foot through her shoe…She took the shoe off and found a screw had gone all the way through. WOW!

The view of Somerset West as we came over the mountain was absolutely gorgeous...it’s hard to believe we’ve come so far.

We had a great afternoon and evening with the Somerset West Rotary Club!

Only 94 kilometers to go to Cape Town…WE’RE ALMOST THERE!
