At lunch we spoke about paddling with a canoe along the Vaal River, and whether it was do-able or not. We thought it would be a nice diversion, and quite spectacular, but once we've spoken to Christo, it was a done deal, we were going to take on the challenge. Christo thought it was a brilliant idea, and invited us to stay as long as we needed to sort out our trip. We sat around the kitchen table until all hours of the morning, chatting about previous adventures, and Christo himself had so many interesting, funny stories to tell of his road less travelled. It was a beautiful end to a rather amazing day.
