We're just outside Newcastle, at another Wimpy (this one's set in magnificent natural surroundings), heading towards Ladismith. Just outside Volksrust we crossed the historical Mpumalanga / KwaZulu-Natal border - with the old Convention Bridge where the Anglo Boer War armistice was signed, clearly in sight from the modern road - which forms an interesting triangle with another province that featured prominently in the two wars: the Free State. The next stretch of the road is ridden with battlefields and graveyards from the wars. I'm looking forward...
