The road less travelled

The stationing committee met last week and we now know where we'll be living and working next year! We don't know much about the area, but the circuit name is Khunwana and the ministers in that circuit use Delareyville as their postal address. Friends of ours from Maritzburg have been sent to Schweizer-Reneke, which is just down the road from Delareyville.

So, we'll be dusting off our Afrikaans, trying to learn as much SeTswana as possible and preparing for life in the dry, rural North-West. It's a whole new part of the country to explore and we are very excited.

But there will be some driving ... We'll be 800km from Pietermaritzburg and just under 300km from Jabavu/Soweto (where our weekly lectures will be held). How many games of I spy can one fit into those sorts of trips?
