Wednesday (Day 17): On our way to Jo'Burg

We can hardly believe we’re only half way through this adventure! We have been so blessed everywhere we have gone.
After breakfast with Ruth and Hugh, we headed out on the road again in our cute little red Polo. It’s been a blast trekking across this country together, with just a map and a passion to travel. Joe has done an absolutely incredible job of driving on the 'right' (that would be left) side of the road. We’ve enjoyed living off biltong (for the Americans, that would be jerky), appletizer and chocolate (hey, I’ve got 10 years to catch up on!)
We’re bunking in a little Bed & Breakfast tonight in Aliwal North, it's called Lord Somerset B&B. We're a little bummed that the town's hot springs are under construction as that is really the only reason we pin-pointed this location as a half-way point), but it feels good to just kick back and relax (and catch up on Egoli - ha!).
We’re both feeling a little weary tonight, but considering our busy schedule the past two weeks, and the amount of junk we’ve been eating, it’s no wonder (and yes, our waistlines are getting a little, uh…blurry). This is the first time we've actually sat in front of a TV for more than a couple of minutes. It feels good to relax.
Only problem...we didn't even think about dinner, and everything closes early here, so... protein bars and copious amounts of Milo it is. Bon Apetitt!
Goodnight world.
