It was around 4am when Maria woke me up with a coffee, but I couldn't snap out of it. I was knackered! I moved over and Maria drove the rest of the way. I tried desperately to open up my eyes, but failed miserably. The breaking day was beautiful, but I couldn't open my eyes long enough to appreciate it completely, as I faught for conciousness for what seemed an eternity.
I only snapped out of it once we hit the Port Shepstone turn off. It was another couple of hours before we turned into Ramsgate and headed straight for the beach. It was the best thing ever to see the excitement in Dante and Kaytryn's eyes. We all got lost in the moment, and just stayed there for a long while before we got our shit together, and headed to the Waffle House for the most superb waffles you will ever have. They serve both sweet and savoury waffles, but we had the mushroom and cheese waffles - to die for!!!
This is where our search for laptop and powermonkey adaptors started. Nowhere on the entire Southcoast does anybody know what a powermonkey is, or do they have a Flybook adaptor. This was a real shame, and we spent hours in search of this tool, because once we leave the Wild Coast, electricity is a novelty, and very few people have alternate energy, so it would've come in handy to have a few more hrs of battery power. We resolved ourselves to the fact that we'll have what we need when we need it. Nothing much else to do, as we're hiking tomorrow.
It was late afternoon when we finally gave up our search, and headed towards Port Edward, and had a quick bite at the Web down at the beach. Afterwards we made our way to Tersia Killian's place where we were gonna spend the night. We met Tersia through Uys, her husband who stays at the Waterglen regularly. They are both magic people, and it was great to see her again. Tersia is a teacher, and seeing as it's school holidays, she came down to their beach house with her friend Fatima, who is quite the entertainer, and her son, Miguel.
Tersia has a Jack Russel called Scooby, who didn't like the intruders, so Dante and Katryn were off to a bad start, when he attacked them on arrival. I think they were shell shocked, because this was the first time that they had ever been in a full blown fight, and Dante was the only one that seemed hurt, but not too bad though. For the remainder of the evening, we kept them all seperate, but Scooby came to the door a bit later to make peace.
They made us a stunning dinner, and we sat round talking for hours before we headed off to bed. We had some stuff to do still, but the last two days has taken it's toll, so I drifted off into a deep sleep...
