24 March 2010 – Wednesday

We had breakfast with the two Wilson couples and the Knudsens. We realized that this would be probably be the last time we got to see the Ladysmith Wilsons as they head home very early in May. I am sure we will see them on one of our trips to Southern Utah but we will miss them until then.

We decided that we would take a small – 150K – detour on the way home and so we drove to PMB and then towards Greytown. I have to say that for the most part it was like driving through lots of other areas in South Africa with tree farms and cane fields running down each side of the road. However there were a couple of surprises along the way. We saw our first commercial corn fields stretching over the countryside. We also came across a Khulekani Primary School that we were sure was not named for Khulekani in Enseleni but made a good picture to show him.

Although the drive was worth doing once, I was very happy to swing back on the N-3 and head for home on a lovely multi-lane toll road. I was also very happy to finally pull into our garage and get out of the car after too many hours of driving.
