Tim & Hayley had arrived late yesterday, so last night and this morning were spent catching up with them. And discussing matters of serious importance in life, but enough said!
Set off eastwards
. Most of the day was spent driving. The Eastern Cape is a very fertile area, one talks about the patchwork of English farmland, but its the same here. Only difference is, the fields are so much bigger. Acres (or hectares as we're in SA) of green fields, irrigation, animals. This has to be a profitable farming area. We've been told that the Western Cape isnt being developed the same, but surely anyone can see that there's money (and food) to be made, so expand it as far as you can.
Got to Wilderness, just short of Knysna. Stopped for the night. There's a great view point just above the town, and we're booked into a reasonable guest house. Went in to the town for dinner at "The Girls". Really great meal. Wold recommend it to anyone. I had warthog! Then Lychees and ginger for pudding. Great combination.
Now trying to get you lot up to date.
Corrected the map. Did none of you notice that we'd travelled some 1300km in a day?
