Back to Maselsport

We were up at 6am, the first thing I did was grab the trap camera and we think we caught a Jackal but the screen is too small to see until we get home.
Our neighbours were also packing up today and by 7am when we started to pack up they were half way through and now we have our procedure fine tuned we were ready and hooked up ready to go before they had even finished there awning.
We took the 45 minute drive back to the entrance passing our first giraffe on the way, Makala national park has been great and we will definitely be back but next time our power issues will be sorted.
We were heading back to Maselspoort today to look for a 4x4 Megaworld to help us with our power problems, and as soon as we had 4g, Ellie searched for it on google and we headed the 4 hours back to the city.
We pulled up outside 4x4 Megaworld at 11:30am and the man behind the counter told us to pull the car and trailer around the back. I explained that the Dc to Dc charger lead has come away from the PCB and at first he thought he could fix it. Then he went in and called Echo Trailers and we spent 2 hours talking to the guy about our trip, future trips and different uogrades we might need for the car. He was very nice.
In the end we settled on buying a new external Dc to Dc charger with a solar input and they will fit it for us on Friday. This will definitely charge the trailer from the car but also give us more ampage from the solar panels.
We left 4x4 Megaworld at 2pm and headed back to the Maselspoort resort and conference centre we had stayed at a few nights ago and booked in and as soon as we got to camp we made ghosty toasties because we hadn’t eaten all day and Ellie gets very “Hangry”.
Once the tent was up I went for a quick swim and then at 4:30pm we headed back out to the supermarket to get some spanners and narrowly avoided ending up in a township, dominated by blacks. By the time we got back it was 6:30pm and I lit the fire and cooked 2 massive steaks. By the time we had finished dinner and sorted everything out it was 9pm and just as we were getting into bed thunder started. It was going to be a long night.
