Well another big driving day finished - today we were travelling across the Transkei which is huge and very hot. Got up as hot as 35 degrees today and low as 27 degrees. The heat really saps you out here as there is just no wind and it is also getting rather sticky as well as they are all expecting rain shortly (can't come soon enough they all say)!

So we are staying just outside Port Shepstone in a campsite which is on another river, not quite as nice as the last camp, but still very nice. No animals around like the last one. We had Nyala, peacocks, ostrich, bunnies, fallow deer and ibis all visit last night or this morning before we left and we heard the lions for alot of the night last night which was really cool.

Tomorrow we are hoping to catch up with a friend in Howick (Kirsty), we were travelling around Kwazulu Natal with her last year. Hopefully we can have lunch and see how she is going. Then we will carry on up into the Drakensburg mountains for a couple of days.

Well hope you are all well, Mum I put my washing into a busket with washing liquid, water and then put on the lid and let them wash themselves on the way between places - pull them out at the other end and they are done.

Love and hugs to you all xxx
