Day 16: Hluhluwe to Kokstad

Well Hluhluwe was well worth it - camping at it's best again.
On the way out of the park we had to wait for about 15 elephants to cross the road, then we were on our way to Kokstadt.

On the way to Underberg we pass the BostonTParty farm stall and stop for coffee and snacks, the setting is beautiful and is completed by a sniggering dalmation (the thing actually grins).

It's a long haul today but the scenery gets more majestic with the Berg always seen out of the Doddle window (a semblance of a Doddle mountain bike plan is beginning to form for around here).

As the sun starts going down and we near Kokstadt we realize that it's going to be bloody freezing again tonight so the Doddle tent (much to Lyn's relief) will remain closed (I must say that even I don't find the rooftop tent pleasant in a beating wind with temperatures of near zero outside - what's becomming of me!)

We have categorized (labelled is perhaps a better word) the towns we have stopped at with a measure as to how far they have deteriorated in the last 17 years (17 is a clue here guys), and Kokstadt can be desribed as middle of the road.  And generally the roads have deteriorated badly, even in the towns.
