We have a slow start, Dirk and Trudy leave at 10.30. We leave at 11.00.
After a while we see the Ford standing besides the road on a steep hill.
The engine is running very hot.
overheated

When we start it again we see that some petrol comes out of the carburator.
We take the spare one to find out how this is possible. We think it’s because of standing on a steep hill. The valve doesn’t shut off the carburator when it’s full.
carb check
During many roadblocks, the Ford gets a lot of attention of enthusiastic people.

It starts to rain seriously.

We are stopped by a very unfriendly police women.
She wants to see the turn indicators of the Ford and many other silly things. She doesn’t understand it at all.
After a lot of complaints we may leave.
At 17.00 we arrive at Standarton, in a guesthouse with Wifi that actually works!! Wow.
During the dinner it’s a real ‘a’social media party.
