How long does it take from start to Phala? (Must be more or less like from Phala to the airport

)
I suffered the car when I was a child, it stopped when I started driving myself

How old is the little alien?

It depends how often and how long you stop. We stopped at the Caltex just before Polokwane for about 10 minutes and again in Tzaneen for about 15 minutes. So normally it takes around 5 hours.
This is now the first time that he got car sick. He is 3 and a half now.

It was misty coming through Polokwane and I didn't see the detour sign.

Saw my error on way back and will know it for 23 days time when I go past there again.

Use my garmin regular, it warns of speed traps and traffic and delays etc and gives and alternate route if it is quicker but it doesn't have the detour for the road works happening.

Haha...when we got there a few days later the gate toilets were closed, and the reception one open!
You don't quite make it clear that the little one vomited all over your car, Alpheus!
Funny the bit of rain didn't lead to any grass sprouting, even a week later?
