We rolled into a chilly Joburg on Saturday afternoon, in desperate need of a shower, some clean clothes and a long overdue afternoon nap. Who says three weeks of holiday is easy? Kev has really surprised us on the trip, returning an average of 15km per litre, no flat tyres, no mechanical difficulty and besides a window that won’t stay up was the perfect car for a long trip like this. We rewarded him with a day at the spa on Sunday and he is now looking like new. They had to wash out some Etosha dust, lake Malawi beach sand, Zambezi mud and a variety of bugs from all the countries we visited, not to mention the coffee stains from numerous early morning garage coffees where Kevs bonnet was used as a table. Coming home on the N1 was a surreal experience. We have been negotiating tiny roads littered with goats, people, bicycles and at times elephants and now we were confronted by multiple lanes (an endangered species anywhere North of SA) and fast moving traffic. It took us a while to get out of the slow lane an accelerate above 80km/h!
