Last Days in Civilisation - by Ellen


Taking off from Cape Town

We flew from Cape Town to Jo’burg, collected our enormous Toyota Hilux truck (complete with bullet proof glass) and set off for Lydenburg. On the way we received a call from Evan’s cousin Collin. He’d just heard that there had been a fatal shark attack at the Fish Hoek beach where Evan had been swimming just a couple of days before! Perhaps Evan’s fear of being eaten by a shark isn’t so unfounded after all...

It took a few attempts to park the juggernaut neatly in the car park at the Purple Gecko guest house where we spent our last night in a room with solid walls, electricity and air con.
