We're nearing our leave date (almost a week to go!!) and we're a little tired from all the hard work put in already. Plus Marco has a split toe which is gross and also not healing so well with all the Mauy Thai and hiking we've been doing. So... we've decided to tone it down a little. We took a bit of a break over the weekend (mostly shopped for last minute Kili kit and also went to the Prime Circle concert at Kirstenbosch on Sunday - They are AWESOME live, if ever you get the opportunity to see them!)
Anyway, it basically means that today's walk (fully loaded back pack included) was along Chapman's Peak again. This time we stayed on the road and walked there and ran part-way back (against a gale force wind, mind you!).
It was only 50 mins long - but enough for now to keep the legs in motion!
We only managed a short walk mostly due to the fact that Chapman's Peak is still closed! It's been closed since Jun '08 with no signs of re-opening yet... More information on that here.
We saw a bakkie drive through there twice while we were walking and the roads seemed perfectly OK to us, the rock catching 'nets' all still in tact (and actually with little -> no rocks in them.)
Annoying for motorists really - and a little for pedestrians as the route is much shorter now that they have closed it off completely! Argh!
