Izora and I had a 3 week break from school as Term 1 ended. In South Africa, like in Namibia, the school year is divided into 3 terms: January- late March, April- late June, and late July-Novemberish. This meant it was time to explore and cause some trouble. On the agenda was a 2 1/2 week road trip covering 3 provinces, 5 cities, and dangerously close to my 3,000 Kilometer monthly rental car limit.
I pushed a Chevy Spark through enormous mud puddles, tires were popped, replacement cars were given (shout out to the new Ford Fiesta....despite a horrible name, that's a luxury sedan people), we attended 2 music festivals (one with a 3 day yoga festival included...), saved one stranded band on the side of the road and became heroes because their set was in 2 hours, woke up multiple times in the Drakensberg Mountains, roughly ate my weight in biltong, swam in the Indian Ocean, met wonderful, fantastic people-with only a few losers in the mix, visited a Hare Krishna temple in Durban (...not much else was open on Easter...), and wore the same clothes for 80% of the time because we did not pack correctly. Below are some poorly captured media moments from the March Madness Adventure:
