Winterton

We are still waiting for documents that should have been delivered in Winterton per courier yesterday but still aren't here. These are the last documents we need so we can take them to an attorney and then to High Court to get an Apostille stamp and with those last documents we can finally do the visa application. Originally we planned to leave the farm today and drive to the next accommodation in Kestell but since the documents hadn't arrived yet, we decided to extend our stay here with another day. We are also trying to make a plan what to do now that the documents are delayed. So instead of going to the next accommodation we went to Winterton town to make some calls because we have almost no cellphone reception at the farm (which also explains the delayed blog updates, sorry) . Since it is so important for us to get this done before the end of this trip, we wanted to get some information about the possibilities between Christmas and New Year's and checking for the possibilities to change flight tickets and extend rental car. We did get some good news from High Court in Pietermaritzburg that they would be open between Christmas and New Year's. Unfortunately extending the rental car wasn't possible and we had to go back to Johannesburg airport and then check at the desk if we could get another car. So with this news to think about we went back to the farm where we were shown around a bit and taken to the river by Hendrik and for the rest we just took it easy and thought about what to do next with the lovely company of some of the dogs.Read more
