Day 7: Rest, recovery and reflection in Uniondale


Reviewing the condition of Wouna's red and swollen blisters this morning, we realised we didn't have much of a choice but to call a rest day, and spend some quality time with our feet in the air.

Besides allowing our bodies to get over some of the shock of what hit them the previous 6 days, it also gave us time to eventually catch up on our blog updates (thanks to Norman and Kammanassie Backpackers for allowing us to use their internet for free) and to think back over the trip so far.

A moment that stood out was when we passed a local on the side of the road, who turned, looked at us quizzingly and asked: "Where is this journey taking you?". Quite a fundamental question, and one we're still contemplating.

Almost like Ryan Adams' question "If I could find my way back home, where would I go?".

Definitely something worth reflecting on. If we find the answer somewhere down the road, we'll be sure to let you know!
