Day 33 - On the Road ... Again

Averaging somewhere around 120 kmp which to me feels like light speed in this rickety van of ours (and probably is since our driver has two lead feet), we cruise across the African landscape yet again. Followed by our 4:00 AM departure and freezing temperatures, our lovely driver still insisted on operating a nazi van and wouldn't turn the heat on. Of course he sits up front without coat again and goosebumps all over his arms, but "it is not that cold." I tell ya, I have such a thing about being cold. This guy erks me, but I am still trying to be as sweet and polite as possible. I just vent via keyboard instead.

I would like to point out evidence "A" to the court room in defense of the rest of the cold people on the bus. Please observe carefully ...




If the court will notice, there is snow on top the mountains to my right and there was a point that I could see my breath just a handful of hours ago. I would also like to tell the court that we have received calls from colleagues in the greater South Africa area who have shared with us the concern the snow fall in their area which is completely un-normal! Just a few hours back East in Harrismith, Andre whose home we visited for tea, said he hadn't had snow in a bazillion years, but that it had accumulated on his lawn. Lovely :)

Thank God the sun is out and on my side of the van ... for the moment ;)


- With all my thanks :)
