No year is complete with out a roadtrip (and my mind is firmly stuck on the top 10 for 2007). So with the offer of free accommodation and shared petrol we headed off in bubbles the white sentra to the great namib desert. Pretty classic trip, the car did not fair well. When you are driving through the desert with the heater on, the windows open and the car is overheating. Its 10 oclock and getting hotter, you dont have any water left and your 70km from the next town, you really need to do some of that magic stuff out of the secret to keep you going. When we pulled into the petrol station we just added oil and water no petrol. Now that is something you do not do everyday. |

After a long drive, with hangovers we had all pretty much pissed all over each others batteries. It was good to have supper with differant people to ease our tensions, Rudi really went to town and made us a great spread of food. The avocado dip was really kick ass, first vegetables I had eaten in 4 days! After a couple of drinks we where all pretty muched topped up and causing trouble. Ronnie didnt notice his warning light coming on and managed to christen both the toilet and bathroom. The bath was some what my fault, I came in needing a pee to find ronnie having a chat on the big white telephone. So I moved him over to the bath while I used the toilet. The toilet was a feminist trap, with the toilet seat that would fly shut at any moment. So using it with up holding up the seat risked decapitation. Ronnie then started complaining about feeling terrible. This was no surprise given the amount he had eaten and drunk, at one stange he had his knife and fork confused and was shuffling food into his mouth with his knife. |

We woke up feeling very very rough, receipts from our excessive pizza evening laying all over the flat. This was not exactly the way I had pictured our first monday night!
Leon who had missed out last night, woke up bright and perky. Organised Greg to buy us all the bacon and eggs we needed to cook up a breakfast that fitted our hangovers. Then off to Gold Reef City to be the tourists that we are. |

Our three brave roadtrippers venture off late saturday night on the beginning of there 3000km voyage up the N1. We drove all through the night each getting a coulpe of hours sleep while we rotated drivers. We ended up in Bloemfontein ready for breakfast at the Mug and Bean, I overdosed on 2 litres of bottomless coffee. Even Leon who cant stand the taste tried to sip on some to keep ourselves going. Next leg of our journey, things where getting a little hot in the car so Ronnie and I stripped down to our boxes, Leon is pretty used to us by now so barely battered an eyelid. The ladies running the numerous toll boothes did not seem to mind either. The poor sentra was wheezing by the time it got up to the thin air of Johannesburg and we made it do battle with the million intersections and "R" roads of jhb, while we tried to find Eastgate mall to meet Greg. |

Road trippin' with my two favorite allies Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies It's time to leave this town It's time to steal away Let's go get lost Just like our Knysna road trip, Leon, Ronnie and I are driving up to JHB to pickup greg and visit everyone we know up there. The cunning plan so far is to leave next sunday for one full week. Greg is already planning for us to hit the lanyest clubs in sandton. All Im worried about is going to "Doors". |
