Into Matat ready for a cold dust settler just to find out that we booked into a dry Guest lodge. The church to the side should have given it away. Met a man and made a plan and soon the fridges where stocked with our poison.

Jeez I leave you kids alone for a couple of minutes and you go all NATIVE on me  ::)
 
Hooked up with our mate Hannes who was going to join us for the next two nights in his FJ Cruiser. Some wiring repairs to the Christmas tree GS.. Looked like the porra was hiding cooked spagetti under the seat.

Excitement the order of the morning as we set out to concour the dredded Ongeluksnek pass. Border post formalities out of the way and up to the gate. As it opened into a bush with no visable track the theme to Jurasic park started to play in the back ground. With cheese grilla burps in our helmets we set out into the unknown. With the FJ on our heels. :eek:
