Today’s drive was one of the most beautiful ever! The scenery of the Drakensburg is breath-taking. Looks a bit like the Cotwolds but the scale is much greater and the colours are different that anything that we’ve ever seen. We were so looking forward to staying at a lodge called ‘Granny Mouse Country House’, apparently one of the nicest in SA. The restaurant is one of SA’s best and this was sure to be one of the highlights of the trip. We were booked in for three nights with dinner – we were going to spluge! We couldn’t wait!!
After driving for eight hours we called to say that we would be arriving late. We were so surprised and disappointed to hear that the lodge had never heard of us and was completely full! We even had a prepaid voucher from our travel agent but they insisted that the reservation was never made. As it was dark we booked into a self-catering place and headed to the local Spur for dinner. Whoo-hoo! I said that sometimes things that happen like this are blessing in disguise. Maybe we weren’t meant to continue driving for that extra two hours after dark. So we had a drink and talked about an alternate plan.
