We rolled into Fraserburg somewhat later than originally planned, but the Old Post road had been well worth the extra time investment, it had been one of the best parts of the whole trip. We eased into town, looked first for petrol, then for a place for something to eat and drink. Thirsty work out in the semi-desert! Finally found a little place called the Meercat Coffee Bar and got a fantastic hamburger there. Then realising we were only just half under way in distance, but with less than half the day left, we had to press on to our next stop Loxton and Victoria West. Still had 337km to go before dark.
