I am glad you called it "Roadtripping for Dummies", because you proved yourself to be a dummy. 1. The hired car blew a gasket. Yes that can happen to any car and esspecially a car that has been hired by dummies frequently. 2. The potholes. This is just about the only point I agree with you wholeheartedly. If the roads department use all the money that they spend on "pothole" signs, they can fill a few of these potholes. On the other hand if you did took the opportunity to get of the main road and followed some of the very new side roads (Kokstad to Port St Johns and Coffee Bay and then back to the main road, you would have seen some beautifull places as well as skipped some of these potholes. 3. Learn how to change a tyre. Basic (Then women are fighting for equall rights!!!) 4. Credit Card. As you should know, it is basically impossible to opperate in SA (or elsewhere) without creditcards (visa and master). 5.GPS. With a recent map it is not nesseccary at all and not being able to change a tyre, I doubt whether you would be able to opperate it properly! 6. Count your lucky stars. Well reading from your above experiences, you where indeed lucky to reach Cape Town with a 30+ year road map and yes again I must agree most people in SA and esspecially in the rural areas are extremely nice and helpfull @Sadiyya.
