No pics today.
Due to a prior commitment that did not materialise (Granddaughter's birthday party hosted by Luis' ex-wife. Apparently it was decided not to invite us!!!!!), we decided to leave today. Intention was to break the journey by stopping off just outside Kuruman. Khai Appel was a dive so we edged on to Molopo Kalahari Lodge, about 30km's outside Kgalagadi. What a lovely place. Very neat and own ablution. Arrived in the dark so will explore more tomorrow. Sightings en route (1 083km's): Kites, Kestrels, Goshawks and Buzzards. Impala just outside Ventersdorp!! Duiker, Bat Eeared Fox (alive!!), Steenbok, Camel & Ostrich. Just before this trip we installed an external temp gauge on The Rad. Left home at 6 this morning with temperature climbing from 12 to 26 in space of 10 minutes. Decided it was a waste of money but what the heck! 1 hour later we realised it was set on internal (cab) temperature - toggled the switch to external and ..... dropped to 12. Not such a bad buy! Had best hamburger ever at Bi-Lo (Take away at Engen garage just outside Upington). In fairness, we haven't had a hamburger in 6 months and were ravenously hungry - it was good!
Gee, you did a fair bit of driving in a day !
