Hobhouse to Rhodes

Today was a big adventure: We left Hobhouse about 7:30 and I drove the first bit. The road was good and there was little traffic. It took us an hour and a half to get almost to Sterkspruit - half-way to Rhodes.

Here is some idea of why it took us another 6 hours to get to Rhodes.Baca lagi
