This ‘Capital of the Karoo’ proved to be a perfect halfway trip-stop for us during our mission up to #Mokala in the Northern Cape. To me, the best thing of all was how safe and secure one felt running or riding here upon the wide-sky plains … no traffic, no pollution, no skebengas, and no dangerous animals.

Except of course for Sylvester the Lion, who we found out after our long run had actually escaped from the Karoo National Park yet again. Be that as it may, we had an awesome time, fitting in much needed active outdoor time before / after being cooped up in the car for a few days.

One thing is for sure: we may be governed by a bunch of politicos with dark hearts, but the country we call home never fails to shine.
