We stopped off for breakfast because our stomaches were screaming, so we treated them with Muesli, banana and yoghurt we bought from Seringa Court Yard. Their toilets were like a 5 star hotel!

We made our way through Notties, stopped off at Rosetta, and into Mooi River to Desais to get their famous R3.25 toasties wich we found to be R4.25 - verry dissapointing, but were happy as hell to have left for our journey.Mooi rivier is not the most attractive town but we made the best of it . Finding a deserted camp and caravan site with big chains round the gate, this was our chosen destination to sleep for the night so we had to think carefully about what to do.We ventured up the road towards weston agriculture school having in mind what Bridget said ,schools or Churches . There we came into good hands, the head master let us stay in the pavilion .
