Day 13: 14th February 2013

“The content of the Bible must be brought into contact with the world.“ RBC

13022013272 Oh no!!!!! Just did a once over of the vehicle and trailer and see that I have again cracked the chassis!! Oh boy my welding has not held.

Fortunately Eurika campsite is situated on a farm. Went to find the owner and chatted with him to see if his welder could not help us out. Wow what a nice guy. After an hour and about 20 welding rods we have a solid weld and brace. Man I wish I could weld like that.

13022013277 As we looked at it, it was far worse than I first thought. so glad we got it repaired. Need to really sort it out in Cape Town but will have to remove the tank to really get it braced well.

IMG-20130213-00514 So after 10am we left for Livingstone. The first part up to Mazibuka was so slow. The road had deteriorated so much since we drove it two weeks ago. There seems to be a lot of trucks carrying copper so they must be exporting it out of Walvis Bay. Oh no poor Namibian roads!

13022013271 Once through Mazibuka the road opened up and we made good time. We tried to make contact with Naas and Maybeline who live in Livingstone to stop by and say hi, but the cell no we had did not work. Well onto the net and Facebook and we found 14022013278 Naas. We left him a message and by the time we reached Livingstone he had replied and we had made contact. Wow for modern technology!!

Had an awesome rest with the Terblanche’s. A good meal, rest and companionship.

14022013279Lord thank you for that farmer and his welder who were able to weld that Chassis for us. You do go before us and we thank you so very much!”

6000Km down and 3000Km to go.
