Friday July 21
Early start as always but the EN1 South of Vilankoulos is much better.
Roads were fairly quiet and we got to Sunset Beach Resort in Chidenguela by 3pm.
The weather was iffy; too cold to sit out on the deck for drinks so Team Prado did dinner in their cottage.
Saturday July 22
Weather turned fine so we enjoyed our last camping brunch of the trip outside along with Bloody Marys and Expresso Martinis.
More drinks on the deck, walks on the beach and our last dinner all together; feeling nostalgic and sad is all coming to an end.
Thanks Deirdre for the lovely birthday memento.
Sunday July 23
Another early start and we had the road to ourselves on a quiet Sunday morning.
On the outskirts of Maputo we parted ways with Deirdre and Sean who were heading back to Durban via Kosi Bay.
The border crossing at Lebombo went very quickly on the Moz side and not too badly on the SA side when we learnt we could play the Pensioner card (my Big Birthday is coming up after all!) to skip the line. Neil, Gillian and I that is, but Rina was told..."She can queue!"
We met Johan at Marloth Safari Park.
He cooked us an awesome braai.
I went with Rina for a quick 2 hour drive in Kruger.
Exhaustion kicked in early and I was lights out before 9pm.
Monday July 24
It was hard to get going this morning. After a few coffees and a Steers ( Yes! We are back in SA where you do find chain restaurants!) we were back on the road.
One more day in the car and it's all over. What an epic trip that was!
