First Stop Kleinmond











We pushed off from Gordons Bay in blustering wind, we made it up the hill and came across the Shark Spotters on the R44 at Kogel Bay prior to reaching Rooi-Els on the R44, we stopped along the road to grab some shade and a drink of water even though the wind was hammering us it was swelteringly hot. We were taking things fairly easily so as to build up our fitness.  We had spent the last 2 months studing for our Final Matric Exams and had not had much time to prepare for what will be 45 days on our bicycles. We stopped in Betty's Bay for lunch, rolls, lettuce, cheese and tomato which we enjoyed in the shade of an empty undercover parking garage so as to get a bit of shade.

After our short lunch break we headed off again towards Kleinmond, we had to cross the Palmiet River to get there and could not resist leaning our bicycles against the railing of the road and jumping into the cool water below.

We made it to Kleinmond before 4pm having cycled a little over 50km, we were fortunate to have been offered accommodation by family who own a holiday house there and hung our hammocks in the trees and chilled for the rest of the afternoon.  We are excited about the journey ahead of us and hope to create awareness about lowering your skin cancer risk by being SunSmart.  Please support us by logging onto our facebook page: www.facebook.com/wingsatourfeet and donate to CANSA.

  3. Here are some ways on how to lose weight fast using motivational techniques.
    Not like many diet plans in existence, these types of hypnotherapy don't last for years. You are able to personally create your very own diets using a Diet Creation tool. However, I didn't know that caused my
    body to go into "survival mode" where it tried to hang
    on to as much body fat as possible.

  4. The anxiety and troubling views will not likely disappear completely once you
    bite your nails. s not the kind of thing where you just watch the video and feel better instantly.
    Skin picking and nail biting are chronic problems, so there is not currently a
    "cure" but you can find relief if you are willing to work at it.
