Who needs all these public holidays??

Well, I suppose all good project managers will have some projects that don't meet their deadlines. No, Frank Colombo, not you!!

The plethora of holidays next week, the tardiness of some of our suppliers, the emergence of some strange "clunking" noises from Matt & Sue's Cruiser and the need for them to make some mods to the load bay has led us to postpone our departure by a week until the 11 May. Once the decision was made, both Kaz and I enjoyed a full night of unbroken sleep! It now at least will let us have a trial run to Clarens in our Cruiser which should be finished on Wed next week. Still not holding my breath though.

At least now the to-do list looks more manageable and Kaz will be able to finish up at the Haggies before we go.

Our route is also subject to change as the last we heard the level of the Limpopo river at Mapai was about 2m and too deep even for 2 Land Cruisers. so plan B is to exit Kruger at the Giriyondo border and head for the Mocambiquan coast via Massingir. Both routes are new to us so it really doesn't matter either way.

I know that the trend of posting to the blog is erratic, so Andor, please don't hold it against us if we don't post every 8 days!
