05 April – time to say goodbyes to all we saw before departing Morgansvlei as we were heading back across to Worcester to pack up the trailer and get everything sorted. We called into another one of the accommodation spots to catch up with Crusty, Kate & Henry also Clive & Rachel – fortunately for us Trevor, Rochelle, Eleanor & Ruby were there also so had a lovely catch up of the last 4 years or so which was wonderful.

06 – 08 April –Spent the time packing up the trailer and car around the workers as they still were working on both vehicles. Got everything sorted and then had a lovely meal out with Kim & Jeremy one night and Jasper the next night.

09 April – Today we are meant to get away around 11am to Tankwa Karoo National Park. Unfortunately the brakes aren’t working on the trailer so big problem!! Decided to spend the night and let them sort it all out and hopefully get away tomorrow morning.

10 April – YIPEE we finally managed to get away around 10am on our way at last towards the big wide open! Headed out to Tankwa Karoo National Park. Arrived around lunch time to our campsite ‘Pyper se Boom’ which is a campsite at which you have to be fully self sufficient – so straight back into it with the rough camping. We then went about sorting out the trailer, everything in the right place. It was an extremely hot day and unfortunately Martin got dehydrated. He couldn’t eat and felt really lousy so had an early night. The big sky is fantastic up there – stars absolutely everywhere.
