Today we are leaving Alliwal North and heading into the wide open vastness of the Free State. Once again Werner planned a route that can be called unique! We get on the dirt road just outside the small town of Rouxville, after which the open yellow grasslands welcome us. With only a few hills here and there, this shows a completely different side of South Africa. We travel on long straight gravel roads along the many cattle farms and have a quick stop at the deteriorating town of Wepener to stock up on some food, before we are back at the desolated dirt roads.But not before Werner almost got hit by a speeding driver at our turn off. A warning sign in the middle of nowhere makes us wonder if we can go through. Luckily there is a kind older gentlemen happy to share his knowledge.

Cudos to you Cissy for warning Werner about that car! O how I love and miss those Freestate gravel roads😢

Unfortunately you have to be very alert riding around here. But that's why there are those beautiful gravel roads to ride!

Glad you spotted that car. Saved Werner's life. Stay safe & enjoy. Should you guys ever end up in Strand, give us a call for a place for you to stay over for the night..

Really glad I saw that car as well, sometimes you don't realise how close it is until you look back on the footage and 'relive' it... Thank you for your kind offer, maybe we take you up on it sometime ;)

Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately we motorcyclists have to watch out everywhere... Thats why we try to keep on small roads and gravel. But you always need to keep an eye out what other people might do.

That driver is an absolute idiot. Too many of them around i might add. Glad you are safe, just another reminder of how carefull we should be. 😎

Yes indeed, why we try to stay off tar roads as much as possible. All close calls were either in cities or tar roads..

All roads in the FS seems to be abandoned or left to their own devices by government these days. The tar road through Bethlehem gave my Fortuner's suspension a good workout in January this year.

Bethlehem is indeed not in a good shape.. very sad. The gravel roads actually surprised us though, they seem to be in a much better state as the tar!

Geez the FS is really brown and quite uninteresting at this time of the year 😅 However at least the roads are quiet 😊
@thetravelingtortoises

Definitely not the prettiest this time of year, but still has its own beauty.

Should have started your video with that near mis to capture viewers attention and get them to watch. On a different note, how are you finding full time on the roads? Do you guys still have regular jobs? Will you be making a turn in Rosendal?

We actually should have started with that shot, but for some reason I forgot about it when editing the start! We are loving life on the road, there is so much to see and do! Sometimes it makes life a bit crazy but that is what adventure is all about. We do still work, but luckily we can manage that from the road (we just need internet). We are busy setting up a website that will have blog posts were we discuss all those type of subjects. It just takes some time to put it all together. In the next episode we will go past Rosendal! The videos are always a bit behind for security and time management.
