... noodweer. Het was met name in de westkaap bleek het een van de slechtste winters. In de krant lazen we zelfs dat er sneeuw lag in Kaapstad en dat de weg tussen Kaapstad en Johannesburg onbegaanbaar was geworden.
We pakken de draad dus weer op vanaf de reis Umhlanga naar Hluhluwe (we zijn overigens in de tussentijd het slechte weer van de westkaap ontsnapt en zijn naar Durban in de oostkaap gevlogen). Umhlanga spreek je trouwens uit als Oemsjlanga ...
