Day 10 - Vryburg to Tosca

News in is that they are about 3 hours from Tosca. This is a privately owned settlement about 150km's from Vryburg and about 70km's from Botswana. They are going strong and say the landscape is beautiful. In Orania they apparently met someone who gave them the details of an elderly lady who lives in Tosca and would be able to host them so I guess that is what they will try and do unless a different opportunity arises. I am amazed at the determination and the pace at which they are moving. They must have set out at dawn again today. I estimate they will do today in 10.5 hours or so if they have 3 hours to go.
They were caught in the rain in Ganyesa so stopped and took shelter on the verandah of the local Shoprite.
When they got to Tosca they chatted to the local shopkeeper who has an empty house. He offered it to them for the night. They have a braai so guess what - they are finally going to eat MEAT! In SA Texas last night they had delicious pizza. The shopkeeper actually lives in Bray so has invited them to stay over with him and his family tomorrow night. They were told the people of this area are very hospitable and very friendly. So far so good!
