We arrived at Dundee in the dark, it looked a little bit dodgy on the way into town, quite industrial from the little I could see, but as we headed towards our intended campsite the roads got wider and there were more trees and normal looking houses.We got a nice surprise as we drove into the campsite, or at least in the dark drizzle it looked okay, we had a small rondavel with a table and benches underneath for our use which was welcome as we tried to make some ...

Pietermaritzburg - Dec 5 - 6 For Paul and I staying in the hotel meant a long sleep in, well long compared to when the birds wake you up while camping.For Dave and Kaz it meant getting up early to make sure they were at the doors of Home Affairs when it opened at 8am!I decided to take the opportunity to check out the internet, unfortunately this was to lead to a bad start to my day, on checking my Egg Visa I discovered that someone had been using it in Cape Town...

Mountain Zebra National Park - Dec 2nd to 3rd We packed up and said goodbye to Karoo National Park and started the 401km drive to Mountain Zebra Natoinal Park.Again lots of amazing scenery and some mixed driving conditions, as we climbed various mountain passes the visibility would drop to practically nothing, then in the low lands the sun was shinning bright. We came across Aberdeen on the our travels, not quite the same as the one I'm used to in Scotland, e...
