Homeward bound (SA at least)

On the road at 8:15 after a good night of cow bells keeping the local disco going, along with the shunting of trains etc etc.

Fresh and warm in the early morning as we pressed on for the border. Around noon we had crossed the border and found Lephalale, now we know! We split up from the rest of our intrepid travellers and had decided to push on home to get to the other side of Johannesburg by evening.

Being in Africa for 6 weeks we had missed the hype of the Soccer World Cup and were now in the city that was in a few hours to be hosting the final. Traffic was busy and heavy, but not as bad as it could have been. We pressed through and made it fairly easily. Quite festive on the roads and we put up our window flags again and joined in, dusty Busy Baby and all.

Ended up at Fortuna Resort between Heidelberg and Balfour. A heavy day of traffic so we are turning in before the final kicks off. Let us know who wins.....
