Joburg Jaunts
June 16, 2017
Well we are now in Gaborone. Our trip to Joeys was smooth as icecream but we DID manage to get lost in Kimberley for which we probably deserve an award!
What bliss! We spent 2 nights with my divine godson Charles and his wife Michelle, divine to be spoilt and have some home comforts. Note to self: I've only just started!! Delicious dinner with family who I haven't seen forever with MORE birthday wishes. Thursday was spent getting Tracy pimped up for TV and sorting out lastminute things. Charles rebuilds vintage cars as well as racing them so Tracy looks like she's ready to win Le Mans.
It has been a lifelong dream of mine to drive through Africa. When I realised that my trusty Toyota Conquest (fondly named Tracy) would be 20 years old this year and I would be 80, there couldn't be a better time to fulfil my dream and together with 100 years of life’s experiences, together we hope to set off on the adventure of a lifetime.
Despite my numerous offers to accompany friends across Africa, sadly no one took me up on it.
Having recently lost my partner of 33 years, raised 4 children and been a “gogo” to 9 grandchildren - I have decided that its time to be the master of my own destiny and what better time than to set off on the adventure of a lifetime?
People look at me in horror when I tell them I’m venturing forth across Africa in a 1997,1600 Toyota Conquest with close to 400 000km’s on the clock. But who else would i choose as my partner in crime? For a quarter of my life, Tracy has been my trusty stead. Windows wound down, music playing, seatbelt clipped in, I could always roar off into the sunset when I needed to.
So here we go again. Come and join me on the journey...
About Me.
