Day 287  May 19 2015  St. Lucia  South Africa


We drove 4 ½ hours to reach St. Lucia. We followed the national route N2. It was surprising to find so many narrow or unpaved roads as part of the main highway system of the country. There were stenches of 4 lane nicely paved roads and all of the sudden the pavement ended and the road became a dirt lane sometimes with a person waiving flag as indication of the road construction. There is an energy shortage in the country so the hotel gave us a schedule for the blackout times during our stay. It was a good thing one of us paid attention to the blackout times because I took the kids to the pool and forgot all about it. By the time we were back Sam had prepared a great bbq candlelight family dinner.
