Day 1 - 611.3kms of open road.....

Man, what a great trip it was, the traffic was almost non-existent...the temparature was perfect, and I was so excited to be on the road at last after weeks of waiting...

There I ordered a toasted cheese/egg sarmie (Mental note to self : Don`t stop there on the way back to Joeys) and parked off for ten or so minutes. I saw a few birds (of the feathered variety) and decided to feed them most of the sarmie, and then I hit the road again....there was little traffic to contend with, so driving was an absolute pleasure. I arrived at my destination at 12:09 and after greeting the folks it was time to crack a beer. I chatted for a while with the folks then decided to have a nap after which I went through to my brother Peters place for supper with the folks. We had a grand time around a plentiful supply of hamburgers, desserts and Smirnoff Spins, but around 8 bells I was feeling very tired so decided to call it a night.

It feels great to be home again in Durban, as I was entering the suburbs I started having an incredible flood of memories, things I did when I was younger, people and places, smells, energies, the whole nine yards....
Tomorrow I plan to stop by at a few mates and shoot the breeze, catch up on old times and maybe have a braai somewhere, seeing all those cows on the way down has made uKrease lus for a piece of braaied moo-cow...as I look at the clock it is now 23:23:23 and time to hit the hay for the night...
