A long drive
We left Johannesburg this morning at 5am with intentions of only driving to a town called Beaufort West, and then completing our journey to Cape Town on Wednesday. We arrived in Beaufort West around 3pm. Cape Town was just another 5-5.5 hours from there, so we though…why not drive the rest of the way! Well, we called a guest house in Cape Town to see if they had room for us and if they’d let us in after 8pm. They said yes; we drove the whole way…er, I should say, Jeff drove the whole way while I kept track of where we were on the journey and supplied music and snacks. The drive took us about 15.5 hours. We’re exhausted, but we’re looking forward to beginning our apartment search and getting our office here set up.

“Just” another 5 hours. That sounds like quite a lot to someone like me who lives in a small country!
HA! Well, we’ve done lots of long drives around the US–especially since our support is in the northeast (my home) and the southwest (Jeff’s home). This drive was just 30 minutes shorter than our longest drive which was 16 hours (Rhode Island to the middle of Ohio).
