Roadblock
I was always excited to see the animals walk across the road in front of the car. This was taken in Kruger National Park.
We are back home and Peter almost kissed the ground when we arrived. The trip home was much worse than the trip up to see my brother. We were stuck in traffic after leaving Ocean Shores for 1.5 hours before we managed to take a road to Lismore (a much longer way home). Our GPS took us through a windy one lane road, but it brought us out near Ballina and the road was clear with no traffic in sight for miles. We heard as we were driving along that there was a 60 metre long truck carrying a 170 tonne boiler, which was 7.5m wide and it held up traffic for over two hours with the cars stretching back 14 klms. They were trying to find a spot for it to pull over to let the traffic clear, but due to roadworks, there wasn't any room.
That aside, my brother is doing okay. He said that his leg is not healing as quick as expected and until he can put weight on it and walk, he will not be able to go down to rehab. They are going to do another x-ray in a week or two. He is becoming frustrated as he has been in hospital for 10 weeks already with no idea how much longer he will be in. That on top of the 8 weeks he was in a few weeks earlier when he broke his leg the first time, he must be feeling that he will never be out of hospital.
