Update 32

A few odd & ends:
-Most people in SA speak English with an accent that sounds like UK but Afrikaans is the most common language heard. It's described as a kitchen language that developed many years ago when the Dutch hired the locals. It's been fun being able to talk to the store keepers, waiters & others we meet.
-So many have told us about areas we should avoid. Robbery is SA is escalating rapidly. We listen carefully & heed their advice.
-In Mozambique one day, we saw many young boys sprinting all in the same direction. Our driver started laughing & said the army must be coming to pluck up the young unemployed boys. After a short training, they will be sent north where there was an unrest.
-Here's some things that made us laugh: Exit Funeral Home, Empathy Funeral Home & HippoTrans (fuel truck).
