Happiness is .....picking up your camper van from Maui, stopping for your shopping, unpacking all your goodies and hitting the road and that is exactly what we did today. 5 Camper vans with us and 4 other British couples.
We spent the day before with them as well on the Scenic Cape Peninsula route, so we were already a bit better acquainted today. The first day with the campers is always the most testing, because regardless of the preparation, the checking and the double checking, as in Murphy's law, if it can go wrong it will go wrong, so there is always a hitch of sorts. True to his law, old Murphy did come into play at our first stop in Stellenbosch. The water in the tanks were smelling off, as in "vrot".Luckily we are only about 30 km away from the depot and poor old MC, the general Mr fixit, is on his way to come and do what needs to be done. Mind you this is a huge improvement on the previous time, when two of the vehicles had problems with their turbos. We had to do major fixing and swopping of vans in Stellenbosch.
Anyway , the mechanic is on the way, the braai fire is just about lit and the wine is about to be poured, so how bad can it be!!
Tomorrow we are off to Hermanus, via Clarens drive to spend the night at Onrus.
