How are we doing?

We are now just over half way, and here’s the state of play with the car:

- We are fourth in our class (out of six, so not very impressive)

- Our speedometer has stopped working

- Our fuel gauge has stopped working

- Our passenger side wing mirror has fallen off 

These are minor issues that we are not worried about. So basically all good. 

Here’s the state of play with us:

- Alex has a minor fever and the squits. The doc says this is from swallowing river water whist rafting and it will go in a few days. 

- I have a whiplash injury also from the rafting. It’s only unbearable when I lie down or drive, so sleeping and rallying are a problem. 

We’ve put in some long days of 500km or more. That’s around ten hours driving for us, so pretty tiring. We have another long day today and then a rest day in Kruger. I’ve booked us both into the spa!
