Port Alfred on the way home

Our adventure almost complete when the show ended in Steytlerville, we were now homeward bound. Our next stop was Port Alfred where 43 Airschool is based. We had soon passed through PE airspace and left the Karoo and found our way to the little town on the coast. Aviation website Avcom's Dirk, the local dentist in Port Alfred kindly offered us hangar space and accomoodation for the night and his son lent us his car so we could get out and find something to eat. What incredible hospitality in this town!! We were up early to see the sunrise and get up into the sky for our last push home.


Our friends Marc and Lee put in fuel and decided to take advantage of a tailwind and carry on home withour stopping over

Beautiful view of Port Alfred from Dirk's home

The local brew Kowie Pilsener was excellent
