Hermanus to Cape Town to Hermanus

Still here :-(
Asher and Ajay are servicing the Land Cruiser. Parts needed to be ordered from Jo'berg which will take 2/3 days. We were hoping to get the paper work in early this week. Looks like we're pushing it to try and get it in for Friday. Yesterday we picked up the trailer which needs a service too. And getting checks out of the bank to pay for these items is like pulling teeth. The first took 3 hours - and we had to forgo our pre-paid tickets to Robbyn Island. (Trust me, the spare days are very few and far between.) And the second time, it took two days. Lost items in the banking system both times - and obviously a lot of fraud in the country so the bank is needing to check and double check where everything has come in from, and where it's going out to! They've asked for proof of our intentions. Seriously, I thought the red tape in Hong Kong was difficult to negotiate through...! You can imagine - we all miss Nancy! And so, another week all but slips away.
