After about 12 months on an equatorial island in the middle of the Atlantic, the desire to see the great outdoors is immense.
Just landed at Johannesbourg withdraw our car booked via the Internet and route of travel in the endless expanses of South Africa. I am already 15 but want of space makes it almost invisible 500 km that separate us from Bloemfentein.
A few weeks before we come together with some dear friends in a hotel chosen at random on the rail in that of Port Elisabeth, who knows if the hotel really exists and who knows if our dear friends are able to pass unharmed all contingencies that are may present during a trip. Discover the future, meanwhile we have 700 km: drunk as a glass of water. The South African roads impeccable virtually traffic-free and allow you, too. To 16:30 come to Port Elizabeth after visiting the Mtn Zebra Nat. Park. The appointment is for 18, try the hotel, found! There really! Ask at reception for information about our friends, have arrived! Ah forgot to tell you that the only aware of our arrival was Anna, while Cesare was unaware of everything! 18.00 us as we find agreement at the bar dsell'Hotel, only a few minutes late and we select the family, Caesar is literally stunned and motionless for a few seconds, not puà a chance to believe such a chance meeting at approximately 10 000 km of distance: it is too! However, a great and pleasant surprise. The next day we continue the journey together, at least up to Cape Town, along the coast over the southern Indian Ocean. Night in Knysna and then to Hermanus, the last whales are still in the bay and sometimes they approach to the rocks to scratch pó.Il a good head wind of hope is unforgettable, the departure from friends and continue north, Stellenboch, Chamonix ( seems to be in France or in Switzerland) a slice of strudel clubs in Tyrolean style, (but where are we?) and then stop on the road system of wine a night with Paarl. The next day I decided to head north the Namaqualand and the border with Namibia. The Fish River Canyon is our next goal Namibian. The close encounter with the dusk otocyon now the image that will accompany us in the coming days.
