The sun shone brightly on Clarens this morning - but not initially on us. After a breakfast of fruit and granola, we set off to get petrol - but the car would not start. Mystery as it was fine yesterday - fiddled around and got it going after a while and then it performed very well all day.
Leaving Clarens we again drove through wonderful rock formations (Bill driving) for some time before the road gave way to rolling hills. On either side, veld and farmland and in the distance the mountains. Mile after mile rolled byand it felt like we were sailing along.
We skipped the tea stop and continued on - the scenery flattening out as we got closer and closer to Bloemfontein.
Bloemfontein is not a pretty town - it is a stop for us between two other beautiful places.
On arrival we had a nice lunch, and then went to stock up on things at an auto part store. The rest of the afternoon was spent kicking tires in the parking lot - always fun.
An uneventful excellent day
