The first 24 hours!

The first 24 hours of the trip always seems to be the worse.People do not know the campers, they don't know the roads, they have never experienced the driving style of our local transport providers and the campers always have something that does not work correctly and there is always one person in the group that has the ability to attract all the misfortune. Well no exception this time. we had the "vrot " water solved by a super chap who came from the Maui depot last night and sorted all those problems out. His name is Siphiso and his real job is to travel with groups of campers and to be their backup support. His 27 years old, has a wife and a camper home and they travel all over South Africa , Namibia, Botswana and wherever groups of more than 10 campers go. I mean how bad can that be?
Well in the first 24 hours we had the water issue, 1 failed battery which was replaced along Clarens drive in a gale force South Easter and one packed up kettle,which we will replace in Hermanus tomorrow. Now we are in Onrus and ready to open a bottle of Champagne to celebrate Dick's birthday.
