Once we were through the more treacherous parts of the route, we relaxed a bit and stopped to take photos. Unfortunately, there isn't a picture of me driving through the mud. It would have been spectacular, but when the going gets tough, I am afraid I tend to put the camera down and concentrate on my driving.

In other circumstances, I might have had our roofcam fitted. That would have looked pretty cool. Unfortunately though, there is a lot of overhanging tree branches on the route here, which makes it impossible to use a roofcam.

But now we can relax, and enjoy the countryside.

Originally we were going to have our picnic near here, but after our dip, we decided we wanted a picnic table. Luckily we knew there was one near Amargeti, so we drove down the Xeros Valley, past Sinti Monastery and the Donkey farm, before heading towards Nata. We took the winding road on the right which takes you over the hill, before arriving at Amargeti and our picnic bench.

So, that was our first journey out post-lockdown. It will be a while before we are back to normal. One of our family members has a weakened immune system, so we aren't taking any chances until we have seen there is no spike in Corona numbers. If you do decide to eat out, or go to the beach, please remember to maintain social distancing etc. We aren't over this yet, but we are certainly heading in the right direction.

Here's a map, in case you were wondering.
