Countdown the bridges on the N2 – we are halfway between bridge 8 and 9
Take the N2 north about 100ks from Durbs or ¾ hour from the new airport (we can’t remember it’s name either)
Slow down to the national speed limit – we know you’re keen to get that hatchery feeling but you have more chance of finding us if you take it easy
The sightseeing in Gingindlovu is not so good – go the other way toward the sea
you will think you are in deep trouble when you hit the bumpy dirt road – do not panic!
Follow the dirt road with the sea on your right for about 2km – past the school, clinic and cell phone tower until you start to go down a small hill. Turn right (look out for the twin rondavels and flying paddlewheel sign)
follow the road down the hill past various houses and then bush to the end (2.5km) and breathe a sigh of relief
call friends and family to let them know you made it – chill out
if you get lost call us – if you’re nice we’ll talk you through it
