DAY 17 - UHM, IT CANT REALLY BE DAY 17, CAN IT?

Got stuck in the sand and needed to be towed.

Heading out the campsite was worth the effort but in the end Tertius the sand cub rally car was just a little too city. Team Plan B was literally our Plan B and they pulled us out the dirt. We like them. We don’t like them when they pull over laughing while Kitty and Dani need a pee stop, but at least they were kind enough not to take any pictures. Mind you, their Go Pro has been taking a 5 second time lapse throughout the whole trip so we can’t endorse that the content is appropriate for family viewing.

Final destination was Tofu, Inhambane. Campsite was on a peninsula which means it is only accessible at low tide, and sloshing and winding through the tide made us feel very manly indeed. Tertius glided through like a regular Jeep ad. Plan B caught up with us and used it as an excuse to GoPro everything.

VICTORY! Made it to the finish line - AND 6th in place! Deflated our tires (more manliness) and ramped up the soft beach sand to make it to the campsite. Laughed when a Hilux got stuck. Contemplated certain doom of trying to get out of the campsite again. Realised Plan B was always our Plan B. Happiness.

All the teams eventually rolled on in. Everyone was in high spirits and we shared a few victory drinks on the beach with all the teams. Group photos, cheesy poses, photobombing and high fives abounded. The sun went down just as things started to get festive for the final Checkpoint party of the trip.

Highlights from the party: Finally saw some of the epic online footage from the rally. Rolled about in the sand tackling each other (STILL finding sand in earholes). Mark from Plan B broke our Spank Baton on his bum. Skinny dipped in the moonlight.

To say that Mozambique is bliss is an understatement. Pretty palm trees, cool breeze and soft white sand. We discussed staying an extra day, but sadly didnt seem viable. Joburg waits for no one and she was calling. Wasted Potential ended up staying an extra 9 days and thats why we don't like them as much anymore. Okay we still like them. We're just jealous.
