Journey started - Second day.......

16 June - Had breakfast at Courtyard Hotel whee v stayed. We all got on to an arranged Bus - started to Mafeking at 10 am local time. Interesting was told the bus cannot not go faster than 100 kms per hr speed which means it would take 6 hrs to reach Mafeking.

The below picture simply reflects the heart of people in South Africa. Sumptuous food ! :) you cant ask for any better ..










People here are so friendly and warm. I always believe the connect is at its BEST only when you put your self in the shoes of the other... I did not look at them as waiter or Waitress but just a friend.... :)






The main person behind all of this - Muriuki Mureithi called as Jambo Muriuki !! :)
Goodness me Cows are so huge here !! and healthy .........!!! :) below is the proof... Butter ;)



 After reaching we have to put together a presentation during the second half today.
Stopped over for snack at Steers, 12.45 pm. Headed back again to Mafeking (1.15pm).
It's 2.30pm and almost reaching Mafeking. Would be there in next 30mins or so.

Finally arrived at 2.45 pm at Mambatha Springs Hotel. It took  only 4.5 hours. The driver did a good job :). Checked into the hotel by about 3.25 pm.
