East London

Last night we arrived in East London, visiting Nicos brother James and family. We left Salt Rock at 8am, after 2 relaxing nights, and thought we will arrive around 16h00 in East London, we didnt count the exact km to drive and at the end we drove over 700km in one day, arriving only at 19h00, luckily before dark:) We drove trough some beautiful sceneries, I tried to take some pictures while moving, havent look trough them yet...but the driving in the area is bad! You have to watch out not only for yourself but also for others. I think half of the people driving do not have licenses and half do not have proper cars, and you can imagine this combination with rolling hills, lots of curves,plenty of hight and goats, cows and dogson the road.
We had a hot day on the road, close to +40, and also some thunderstorms with rain pouring down so we only could see a few meters ahead. But the rain cooled the air nicely and made the travelling easier. We have now 2000km behind us, in 5 days...
Today we are planning to go to the beach, kids can play. Liina&Viivi looked so forward to visit their cousin Jamie, and they are all playing so nicely together, outside already this morning since 7am. We are so used to get up early in the mornings these days, but then also we are tired early in the evening:) No late nights for us!
Tomorrow our plan is to carry on driving towards Cape Town, a few nights still ahead, havent decided yet where our next stops will be, maybe time for some planning again:)

Have a great day!
