We waddled to Fang, got the wrong turn of the day over with immediately and headed to the Dezzi Racetrack, a short 148 km down the N2.
Dezzi is the real deal. A very pleasant, well designed road course with good elevation and tarmac. Each vehicle , rental trucks included, took two turns of two laps each. The three time Belgian world rally champ won the fuzzy dice with blistering times in his racing Porsche.
Laurie probably was fastest in the sedate class. Everyone enjoyed the romp on a good track.
The landscape, green, green hills, deep valleys and glimpses of far away pounding surf lured us to another diet buster, the beachside Blue Lagoon bar. Nav ate too much and fought off a gastric coma during the four hour run to Umngazi Villas by the Sea.
No real report could fail to mention the surreal trip through Flagstaff and yet, again words cannot convey the sheer magnitude of activity crammed onto and around the Flagstaff main drag, equal in mayhem to Bombay’s best efforts.
The trip from altitude down to sea level includes 133 turns, switchbacks and postcard views. So here we are,up a river by the sea, surf for music, ensconced in the very same cabin where Nelson Mandela slept. Maybe even the same bed. Or did he sleep in the one Laurie now uses?
