Well talk about the best laid plans........etc.

This morning we were both up at 7am, had no hold ups, but did empty the toilet and top up the water. We got going at 8.30am which is hard to understand as we did not do any special jobs or any thing else to delay us, very disappointing. We did stop for breakfast and showers for an hour at about 10am, then for lunch at about 1.30pm and we did get fuel which took about 1/2 hour. So for about 6 hours driving, sitting on 100ks but obviously some traffic hold ups we only covered about 400 kms......also very disappointing. To do this we were pushing and putting in a far bit of effort, so from now on we will relax and not try for high distances every day, maybe even do a bit of sight seeing. We have missed a lot of nice stuff so far but we will get back sooner or later.

Anyway back to madam, she is now feeling a lot better than the first few days, we have been here for 5 days. We have made good just 1500kms which is not bad considering that we lost the first 2 days and had to back track 54kms, an extra 108kms, travel. That is actually better than I thought but we are still 2500kms from home.
