Signs of development

Our new road is complete! This may be a bit boring for people other than Kayleigh and Sam, but the new road signs give the area a whole new feeling of being slightly more civilized and less rural. It's hard to believe its the same road that we used to pray we didn't slide off the cliffs when it rained and turned to mud. (Apologies for the poor quality of these photos).

On the Coffee Bay road the "detour to Zithulele in 200m" sign has been replaced by a proper T-junction sign.


And here is our new turnoff sign. Mysteriously, we still seem to be "Zithulele Mission Hospital ", even though the name was changed 16 years ago. I kinda like it. It reflects the hearts of many of us.

The speed limit is officially 60. Although it is possible and very tempting to exceed this, we have had too many major accidents recently. Do not be fooled, the bends can be lethal.

A very appropriate sign i think. It pretty much describes the whole road.

Kayleigh will pleased to see that the "Cliffs of Doom" now have railings. And even sharrows :)

EVERYTHING is now signed. Who would have thought the turn to Tafelohashe and Mapame would be signed?!
