Before heading off I decided to use some water purification tables with
some of the water I took from the Orange River. It looked clean enough but
I was just being cautious. I got some drinking water once I left from this one
farmer who said it’s the same water from the river. Nice. Safety confirmed
again. Had to do a little detour away from the river
through a hilly section but the downhill was awesome. Then I had to pay my park
entrance or exit fee as I exited the Ai-Ais/Richterdveld Transfrontier Park.
Was R50.

I had decided to camp once more along the Orange river before I would
head off for Vioolsdrif the next day so I just took it slow. I was told about a
lekker place to camp by the park security guy and that is what I kept in mind
while I rode and eventually rode past it. Had a chat with a guy from Holland
who was adventuring with his 4x4 and he told me what he had seen up ahead. So I
carried on a little more and realized that the road was now veering away from
the Orange River. So I turned back and cycled for about 4kms and pitched camp
next to the river again. This section had so much soft grass it was amazing. I
had another awesome swim to clean the sweat and dust off me before enjoying the
scenery as the sun went down.
