Re: Hello From Southern Cape
Thanks guys, good to be here. Alex, you and I need to talk. There are so many trails in the area from rocks to sand. I can also point out plenty of back roads that are just so well worth travelling, have you got a few hours
You can mail me and I can send you some info, just let me know when you are coming down and for how long... honeybeeouteniqua@gmail.com
