Day 7: Hoopstad to Kimberley
Departed from Karl & Lotti's B&B at 03.30am. Right out of Hoopstad I stumbled upon a drunkie peacefully snoring away on a 100km/h road. After five minutes the local police turned up and threw him into their vehicle like a bag of potatoes - Sunday morning routine I guess. Walked on for 20 kilometers when my left ankle started to give me serious problems again, increasing, third day in a row. Average speed dropped to about 4km/h, whereas 5 would be required to meet my schedule. Dania picked me up and drove me to Kimberley. Doctor du Plessis' diagnosis after 350 km of walking: Ligament rupture on the left ankle. Received my usual but injection and kind of a plastic moonboot to keep things fixated - walking prohibited. But I have a plan B, let me tell you tomorrow. Good night and thanks again for all your comments.
