Fridays are not good days to travel down to the coast due to the trucks now on the road. It is not an exaggeration when we say it is kilometer after kilometer of trucks travelling bumper to bumper. But to put in an extra day is not the way to go so we just take a slow drive and don't push the limits.
The rain set in on the way down and we eventually found the Donkey Pass at Van Reenen which unfortunately is non excitant. Half way through we had to turn back as there is nothing left of the pass.
We are booked into Tala Game reserve until Sunday when the standards finish. It's always lovely to shoot at the smaller clubs because of the camaraderie and the chats at the end of the day.
Sunday it was off to Amanzimtoti and we stayed at the L'Escalier Cabanas. A lovely block right on the beach front. From our balcony the waves are a stone throw away. Once again the pictures on booking.com are ages old and the unit is run down.
This instance it looks like it is just the old lady, and she was a bag since the moment we met her, is battling to do the upkeep on her own.
Has the Covid lockdown affected the industry so much? It looks like it. The town is dead and even though it is early February, there are very few people to be found on the beach.
Jacques Botha took our guns for safe keeping while we were at the coast, so Thursday on our way back, we stopped off in Kloof to collect them. We couldn't get away there with all his chatting. We always enjoy him so much.
Thankful to be back home safely after navigating those roads.
