We had such a great time in Albany and already regret not staying longer, but it was time to continue the trip to beautiful Esperance.
There is no way you can drive all the way without stopping to dip a Ouma and have a bite of droëwors
The scenery at times reminded us of the good old Free State back in South Africa, except for the 48 degree Celsius heat! We did not know where the thermometer would stop going up, but we decided if it hit 50 we were going to stop, get out of the car and feel how it feels, just so we could say we know how it feels. Luckily it started to cool back down below 48...!
Don't think the strong Northerly wind was cooling - it just created an overall furnace around us
The highlight of the day was seeing old friends again and seeing their children all grown up! Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.
And of course it was great to see Zoe again, the cutest Dachshund ever.

There are always a few interesting sites...
This was at Lucky Beach at Esperance where the sand was so compact, we were able to drive on the beach. We also saw Kangeroos on the beach - what an awesome site!
The water is an amazing colour and even with it cooling to a nice 25 degrees C today, the water was awesome to take a quick swim - against my normal rules, but I knew I would regret it if I didn't take a chance there and then.
More pics to follow which will include Wynand and Anita.
