    Red sands country lodge

    Apr 15–16 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    It took us 6 1/2 hours at 120kph to get here and we had some sketchy moments passing the Lorry’s that can only do 70kph but we’ve made it.
    We arrived just as the sun was setting so the lovely food we brought earlier is staying in the fridge as we’re too tired to cook and we are hitting the restaurant and then going to bed.Read more

  • Let’s start the road trip

    Yesterday in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    We left Bushmans rock and drive to the nearest spar where there was a dead body at the side of the road being dealt with by police. Apparently they worked in the KFC next to the spar and had been hit by a car on the way to work. By the time we came out of the spar the road was clear, the body gone and it was like nothing ever happened.
    New tyres are now on and we are ready for the road ahead. 2 days shopping is also done and for the rest of the day it’s just driving as we make our way across South Africa. Neither of us are looking forward to 7 hours in the car but here we go………

    Finally after 16 hours we have arrived, luckily we slept on both planes and we feel pretty good.
    Our car was in perfect condition. Cleaned, serviced and even hooked up to the caravan ready to go and after 10 minutes of sorting our stuff out we headed just 5km down the road to our first sleepover of the trip. Bushman’s Rock.Read more

  • Welcome to South Africa

    April 14 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    A great stop in Rwanda for 2 hours with great treatment. Then we had to board the smaller plane for 4 hours and get to South Africa.
    Customs was a super quick process as we had the fast track and we were soon the other side waiting to collect our baggage. Fortunately we had taken the time to shrink wrap our case as most rucksacks and cases that had, had a layover had been rifled through by baggage handlers somewhere.
    Once our case was collect we headed up to the Uber pickup point to order a car and head to the storage yard to collect the car.
