OK so one week into the road trip n we have covered 2500kms... had a flat tyre.... been into and out of another country n i think we have only moved about an inch along on the map....
I have well n truly sussed out how big a country south africa is.... which is perhaps a reason all the roads are in such great condition.... NOT.... i don't need to invest in one of those vibrating toning machines for my arse as its getting it every day for about four hours on the roads.... no off road driving experience for my crimbo present as I'm now a master!!! The road works are also pretty interesting with an average wait of about 20-30 min.... yes and there would be about three of these one after each other.... could be that the road works are all being done by women!!!!
We have been through swaiziland which is a stunning country however the road out was a particular highlight.... its basically what we would have as a foresty track at home through about 20 miles of forestry or more. Ok when you can take your time but we were rushing for the boarder crossing only to find out it closed two hours earlier.... ok so we are wise to checking these kinds of things now!!!
Experienced some lovely accommodation.... first stop we looked at the rooms and the toilet/shower facilities and when the lady went away to get blankets we legged it to the car and got the hell out of there!!! We weren't really having a successful night as next stop once we have paid get to the hut and find mice droppings everywhere.... yes you can imagine my comments on that one!!! Luckily i slept sound.... richard on the other hand tells me that our little friends paid a visit during the night!!!
OK n last tip for this post.... don't put your beers in the pool to cool... they drift then you have to fish them out when the waters boltic!!!! Wasn't me who put them in so sure as hell wasn't me who was fishin them out!!!
