We started the day off a little later than planned making some of the guys a bit edgy. We drove out to yesterday’s marker and Puddy got right to skating hard again. Even though the road was ridiculously rough (to such an extent that Puddy had to push down one the best hills he’s encountered on trip and only reached a max speed of 29 km/h) he managed to skate the longest continues stretch without taking a break. A grand 17.5 km’s. He then carried on to skate another 12.5 km’s. Leaving us with a total of 30km’s for the day. This is a clear sign that Puddy’s fitness is increasing daily. He also pulled a 500m manual. Not the furthest on the trip but pretty impressive considering the state of the road.
Max somehow managed to forget the battery for the camera so there are no images for today. Cornell shot some footage and also got some interviews with the people where we were staying in Bloem.
We got invited to the opening of a new restaurant so we will be staying one more night in Bloem, even though we are basically at our next stop. Apparently Ferdinand Rabie from the Big Brother fame will be there. So we are looking forward to creating some more awareness for our cause.
After the day’s skating Puddy sat down with us all and we had a serious talk. We structured our next 500km’s and set clear objectives for everyone on board. The tour needs to run smooth and we shouldn’t get side tracked from our objective. THE SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGE.

With only a couple of k’s left before we reach our 500km mark and have something special planned for Puddy. But more of that tomorrow...
