Day 61: Aloes Guesthouse – New Oxbow Lodge

After the two long days of driving, we have planned a short stretch of road for today. 120 km on tarmac.

Stopover in Butha-Buthe – let's see what the supermarket has to offer (U Safe). It's enough for a few biscuits, some pears, oatmeal, matches (because the lighters are all dead) and Cadbury chocolate.

And we fill up again, who knows where we'll get the next diesel fill-up. In the mountains we use a very high amount of 15-16 liters.

Then we go up the Moteng-Pass (2,840 m) and back down a bit to the New Oxbow Lodge. More of a complex with rooms and chalets for winter sports (high season is from May to September). But we are allowed to camp and, given the local climate, we will definitely use the comfortable lounges.
