First was end July when Momprins came for a surprise visit to check up on me!


Unfortunately we booked the coldest weekend of the year...but that made for very unusual cloud formations with the dry scenery that is my favourite, combined with the colours left after by the burns!

So plenty of scenery pics!

We drove to Phabeni via the Numbi Road, a little-known secret as the road is of good quality and less hectic than the R40 at the right time of day. (Except for 500 speed bumps).

As normal disaster struck quite soon with Momprins' garage coffee all spilling out into her priceless handbag. But she does not sweat the small stuff and cleaning kept her busy for most of the trip!

She was delighted to find that they sell coffee at Phabeni reception too, so restocked!

Upon getting into the car she surreptitiously began spilling again so I had to start setting some ground rules, what can one do?

Albasini ruins with various Woolies snacks etc. Very rustig!

Most of the south had had their controlled burns already,so one side of the road at least was always burned, making visibility great! It is very dry anyway, quite unusual for PK!
Notice the smashing colours, red, black and giraffe!
