Hi All
Ok so I was planning to head back to OZ for the easter holidays, but seeing most of the country has experienced either bushfires, cyclones or floods I have decided I should stay and see more of South Africa. Does anyone have a good idea as to where I can spend 3-5 days over the easter break. Prerequisites are it must have 3G connectivity as I still need to be able to login for work, prefer within 2-4 drive from Johannesburg, although dont mind flying commercial airlines if required. Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Darren

Re: Easter Break
If you still have your bike - Eastern Transvaal - Mpumulanga - Graskop, Sabie, Pilgrimsrest area. 
Lotsa bikers there over the easter. Spend many a easter camping in Pilgrimsrest next to my bike. 
A must for a biker sometime in his life. Just outside Graskop, on the Hazyview road is a stunning place, Panorama. Nice views next to the pool to log into work.

....................but whatever you do, take the bike.

I would rather fly my trike. Bikes are downright dangerous things

If you don't have a trike you might try it in a gyro.....but it's not the same.

Re: Easter Break
Agree with Nicow. Numbi Hotel at Hazyview have a nice landing strip and very friendly to Microlights and Gyro's. Book in at Numbi and explore God's Window, Sabie, Graskop. Some of the best scenery in SA.
