And things got worse. First a remarkable pic of how dry it was, with lovely green grass by the side of the road!
There were quite a lot of sightings, but it was too hot to take photos. We were a tad late, hot, and Momprins needed the loo. I must admit we had to speed up a bit, but as you can see, the road is virtually a raised highway.
Eventually I noticed hooting sounds from behind every so often. I assumed it was Prinswilliam, but once I noticed a car flashing its lights at us. It turned out someone was scolding me for driving too fast. I think the problem is that the Beemer has a "Resume" button that takes you quickly back to 50km/h or whatever you selected on the speed control once you take off again from a sighting...quite dramatic but it saves a lot of effort!
The Virtual Honorary Traffic Official tailing us was having none of it, and hung on like grim death...
It didn't help when a stupid mongoose ran into the road and I had to brake like crazy. The VHTO also had to brake, and gave me an angry windscreen wiper activation...
(Not very intimidating, to be honest.)
Anyway, we sorted Momprins and ended up at the Olifants Bridge, where we got out to stretch our legs. LOVELY!!!
Eventually I saw the VHTO approaching at speed, and knew a mouthful was coming.
We got a drive-by scolding, which is not very effective either, as the sound comes from one side and carries on behind you to the other with a stereo effect...
VHTO: "EXCUuuu....uuusseeEE MEEE?"
RP: "Yes?"
VHTO: "Do you know that you are alighting from your vehicle? 
"
RP: "Err, yes?"
It was a bit strange, as the bridge there is actually one of those where you are allowed to alight, but the lady had obviously been psyching herself up for many kilometres to get payback, so I left it? And she was absolutely gorgeous!
She left quickly...never to be seen again...
