On The Road Again...



Our South African trip took us from Cape Town to Oudtshoorn, onto Mountain Zebra Park and East London... and then all the way back again. This covered a distance of  around 2500 km (1500 miles) and took its toll on our hire car...in fact, we had to trade in the first one when it blew a hole in the exhaust not far from Mountain Zebra. We drove into East London sounding like a tractor having a tantrum, and had to make a detour to the airport to collect a second (much better) car

South Africa has a fantastic road network, and once you're out of the cities, there is hardly any traffic (compared to the congested roads in the UK). Roads that seem to just go on forever and forever....
