DAY 3 Orania to Kakamas
The normal routine took place. The morning started of with a minus 2.
A quick refuel at the local petrol station and me inflating the flat front, we were on the road.
The route was from Orania to Hopetown (tar), then gravel to just before Prieska. Another bit of tar to Marydale, then gravel to Put sonder Water, Kenhardt and our destination, Kakamas.
The gravel from Hopetown started with rutted vehicle tracks but in no time changed to a gravel highway. We were sending it until we got attached, on two occasions, by a swarm of locusts. That was quite an experience. When we eventually stopped you could smell them, burnt on the engine and exhaust.
