So we saw a house we wanted to buy in the Karoo, and what followed was the biggest road trip I have ever done.

We are bloggers. That is our entire family blogs, we are full time bloggers and we have nothing else to do. Jobs sucks here in South Africa and who wants to work 8-5 for some jackass that probably wont give you what you are really worth.

Now being full time bloggers gives us the opportunity to travel. That is when we have the money to travel.

Recently we saw a plot we would like to buy in the Karoo and it’s about 750km from Cape Town, where we are if you follow the photos on this blog. So we decided we need a holiday, actually we needed a holiday and then we saw the house. So we packed our bags and started driving.

Actually it wasnt that simple. We discussed when we are going to go etc. But the Tuesday of the 23 June 2008 I decided we are driving and we are driving now. So we left at about 11pm the place in the middle of no where, where we want to get the plot.

So this is how the journey starts. Further on I will just refer to this as the road trip.

The road trip was from Cape Town to Johannesburg right back to Cape Town again. Now that might not sound that far but I am going to explain to you the road trip in the next few posts.
