Drove through and around a million potholes. Oh and boy were there potholes. At times you’re literally dodging the tar instead of the holes and it makes more sense to drive on the side of the road than the road itself. Tertius had to do the tedious windy pothole dance as other teams in 4x4s and even the heavy duty trucks slammed though them like butter. Tertius gasps as we squeeze between 2 inches of road and a massive 12 wheeler pan technican.
Getting to Blue Water campsite was an interesting experience. Beach sand roads passed by sleepy little fishing communities as kiddies heading home from school ran alongside the car. For roads usually designed for 4x4s and Landies, Tertius the sand cub rally car sure knows how to rip up some dirt. Shifted and slid on through as best we could. Didnt get stuck and didn’t need to be towed! Woohoo! We’ll see what happens on the way out though. Our positivity on this trip has been astounding.
Set up camp and admired a most beautiful moon over the ocean. Nibbled on some fresh braaied Kingfish via the Retired Rentals and a little pot bread from The Natives. Plan B made a spectacular veggie stew in exchange for some Motherland Coffee with Amarula. Nice.
