Hellville Again

14 September 2014
Gina & Paul
The hard way to get dinner.
We stayed the day in Hellville as we wanted to top up the sim cards and it was Sunday. Most offices were closed today so we met Jimmy on the beach. He helped arrange to get some more diesel then we did some shopping at the supermarket for our trip south. We stopped for lunch at Nandipo’s, a quaint restaurant that seems to of been around for years. It had free wifi so it was patronized by a few other cruisers as well. Nothing like free wifi to bring them in. We went back into town the next day and finally managed to post a post card. After dealing with the guy behind the counter, we will never be sure if it gets sent. He didn’t have change, he didn’t stick the stamp on it and said he will deal to it later. Our guess is the money for the stamp went into his wallet and the post card into the rubbish bin. We then made our way back to Crater Bay for our last stop for water. We spent another night with Des and Nell in Sakatia and garnered more information for making our way to South Africa.
