For the first two or three days we're more-or-less retracing the last three days of the first leg, so there's no point in repeating info about these places...
....so, apart from managing to see wonderful views from the 'God's Window' viewpoint, which was deep in cloud last time, we were actually having quite a laid back time...
....until, descending from this heady mountain, doing about 75km/h there was a bloody great bang as Charles' water tank half drops off, scrapes along the road and releases 80 litres of water behind us. Quite dramatic stuff when you're not expecting it...which we weren't...obviously. Stop near a quite dodgy bend (fast right hander...bit like Copse for F1 enthusiasts)
So, to cut a long story short...we call up our intrepit leader, Nelson who contacts our riding Bobo mechanic/Mr fix-it who is with us in 30min....and, after numerous offers of help from fellow campers and locals, we're on our way again. We do without the tank (and water) for a day while it's patched up and properly secured this time with great big bolts through the floor while we cook on a flaming braai. All sorted.
Charles's nameplate...Google him
The warning triangle slows the cars exiting fast right-hander...a bit.
Something wrong there Mutley..
The Mac Mac Falls
Off to the Kruger tomorrow. More great big animals (and little dung beatles)...and we can flush the loo again...which is more important than it might seen when you can't get out of the van without being eaten.
