Home time today. We are heading for Kokstad or we will head to Port St Johns to sleep. We are just too far away to get home in one day. Let’s see how things go.
We said our good byes and promised we will be back. We were given some food for the road and we were gone. This was the earliest we have ever been on the road…. 7:30. Usually we are driving by 10ish. But we do have a rather long drive ahead.
We drove through lots of road works with stop and go signs. Nibbled our breakfast and stopped for some coffee.
Later we grabbed some lunch and carried on for some more road and road works.
By 15:00 ish we realised that we would not make
We stopped just before Mthatha to put in some diesel. There was a Shell petrol station sign with a bed sigh under it. We both looked at each other and we did question it. I drove in and all we could see was huge 18 wheeler trucks. We could not see any where there was a sleeping space. Then we saw a drive way just in front of the trucks. We drove in and we decided that this was a good place. If we drove down to Port St Johns, and back, there would be 4 hours of driving and then all the fuel. We could not make Kokstad, so we stayed there. We were also given a R100 voucher for dinner. We cant ask for anything else. Pizza and a good sleep.
I was asleep before mom even turned off the light.
