Day 17: Tembe to home

Today we returned home for a week. We dodged goats and cows as we retraced our route back to Jozini, over the dam wall, then through Pongola, Piet Retief, Ermelo, down the N17 to Springs and home. I will not be looking at moving to any of these towns – ever. 

Our reasons or priorities for returning home vary somewhat. I can't wait to see Gareth and Kirst. Gray is returning for a new set of tyres. One would think that a vehicle that could probably scale Mt Everest was good enough, but apparently not. Heaven forbid we leave a tarred road without BF Goodrich tyres. So our perfectly good set of new tyres are being replaced with these long awaited tyres and 18 inch rims that have, at last, arrived from the U.K. Over the next week various other modifications will be made to the car.

We arrived home to a chilly Johannesburg, as a cold spell is descending over most of the country. It poured with rain last night. 

We also have a hectic social calendar planned for next few days, starting with our good friend, George Krafft’s 55th Birthday party tonight.
