Day 148: Friday 1 April 2011. Tandile, Broedersrtoom,
South Africa. S25 48.502 E027 51.673 Distance travelled 563 km. Total trip
distance 25,160 km
Another long, hot and rather boring drive down the N14,
but we finally got home at 1700, 148 days "out" and 25,000 km driven. We went
for a celebratory meal at the "African Swiss" restaurant down the road and then
the long-awaited hot bath.
This was a trip of a lifetime, fortunately executed
without major incident, either political, judicial, medical, mechanical or
financial and great fun to boot!
Major congratulations are due to Jenny for her cheerful
companionship, her co-driving, her organisation and her sheer
endurance and the Land Rover for bringing us through some pretty tough spots
without even faultering - some tough vehicle!
In the next few days I'll publish some trip statistics -
once we have cleaned the Land Rover of all the Saharan sand and the Angolan
mud!
