''Kariega, Ecca, Bathurst in die OosKaap'' Die OosKaap bly maar een van die mees besonderse dele van ons land. Groot variasie van natuur en topografie. Ek gaan gereeld soontoe en elke jaar word ek verras met iets nuuts. Tussen Alexandria en Boesmansriviermond is 'n afdraai wat gemerk is 'Ngciyo' (S33d39'12" E26d32'11"E). Dit is 'n kort grondpad wat plaaslik bekend staan as die "Poor man's Game Drive". Dit loop vanaf die R72 na 'n teerpad (gemerk 343) tussen Kenton-on-Sea en Salem. Ngciyo Weerskante van die pad is hoe" heinings van 'n hele paar wildplase. Dit is 'n openbare pad, in baie goeie toestand en mens sien baie wild so al met die pad langs.

We (JdJ & Tracey) did this trip whilst our friends Wayne and Joe embarked on a 5500km trip from Cpt to Jhb, Lowveld, KZN, Garden Route and back.....we wanted to be with them but could not stay away from home for so long and therefor decided on a shorter trip.... The plan was to from Cpt go to Struisbaai, from there to Prince Albert, then to Addo to the Elephant Park then Bathurst to visit a friend, then to somewhere between PE and Struisbaai and for the last day to Franschoek on the 25th Dec for Xmas lunch with family - all more or less about 2000km's. Day 1- Cpt to Struisbaai We have done this so many times that we can almost do this trip with closed eyes. We decided to stop at the botanical garden just outside Kleinmond for a light lunch.
