Day 4

Day 4 - 137km
Hole in the Wall to Kob Inn
On leaving the hotel we rode up to the Hole in the Wall, a Durdle Door style rock formation sticking out of the sea and as we were busy snapping away some Dolphins cruised across the bay, just another day on the wild coast! After a while on the gravel roads we hit the rough stuff again with some really steep descents down to river crossings and some breathtaking climbs next to the ocean. We mended 3 punctures today, one of our own and two for another teams(which we are owed beers for!). In total we did 3 beach crossings and arrived at the Kob Inn by the mouth of the Qora river near Willowvale (via a steep hillside road made from old tyres!) with huge smiles almost as big as the numerous African kids we meet along the way. Tomorrow is a rest day from riding and we'll be spending some time renovating a school and seeing first hand where the money we raised has been spent.
