Cotton Tree - Kandanga


Been back a couple of weeks and have used the time to make a few changes to the storage bins in the MH. Also completed some scheduled maintenance. All done and good for a few more kms.

Just sitting around waiting for something to happen can be tedious! Always good to have a plan or at least something out on the horizon. Have scheduled a trip at the end of the month but am looking about for a destination, a short trip for a week or so, to take me through to that new adventure. So for now, traveling north for a bit of clear air and road time.

Stopped off for the first night at Kandanga, to break the trip up, and found the pub had just opened two weeks ago. Back in December 2015, the pub burnt down and since has been operating (only just) out of a shed on the block next door. It was impressive to see the place jumping with people everywhere, most dining. Talking with the publican he tells me at the official opening they had over a thousand people through the place and since have been flat out.

Always good to see small communities recover from disaster and in this case come back even stronger.

The design is not dissimilar to the original pub, nice. Note: lots less flammable material this time.
