So the original plan for the day was to drive from A=Port St. Johns to B=Queenstown. At some point in the rain and cold I took a turn that I thought was correct, but didn't check on the GPS/Sat Nav and before I realised it I was at C=somewhere near Idutywa. It only became apparent that I was on the wrong road when it ran out of tar and got very slippery and muddy very quickly around C on the map. I knew this road was tar all the way, thats when I consulted the trusty map book. I had gone too far out of my way and decided that I was not going to spend a second night in the dark and decided to head for Gonubie in East London instead. That's what I love about adventure travel - just go with the flow! Nobody was waiting for me in Queenstown anyway.

Aiming for B but hit D instead!

Note to self: Don't use a non waterproof car sat nav that lives in my pocket, get a waterproof mounted bike one instead so I know when I am going wrong! Normally I am excellent at directions but in the rain and cold I didn;t want to stop and check.
