Frankie's Travels - on the long road back home

So we travelled to Selebi Phikwe yesterday and stayed over at the Syringa Lodge. Lesson : Franchise in SA with decent food does not mean Franchise with identical name has identically nice food. I ordered a chicken snitzel at Spur - yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck! My colleagues think I am a fussy fuss pot for only eating half the portion.

It was hot and humid and so much so that I stood in the shower with the cold tap on full throttle and then tossed and turned the night away. Aaah a business trip to the Tropics my friends! (I saw we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn)

Today we drove 60km off road. The first 20 were pretty smooth. The second 20 was pretty stoney. The final twenty was driving in a straight line only in a seven dimensional reference frame. I had my arm around my belly to hold my intestines from being jiggled into knots!

But at least I saw some squirrels and a little bokkie and a hornbill and some guinea fowl. It was kinda amusing watching the Chief and Principal engineers getting medival on the bos with a bush saw!

My scrambled eggs and tinned pears breakfast has long since been absorbed into my blood stream.... Hungry Frank :C I hope the aeroplane food is nice...
