We then had to check the car into the workshop and were told by the nice lady there that it may be possible that the car would be out of service until tomorrow. When we got back to the room, we were planning how we were going to reschedule the rest of the trip. If we didn't make it to Port Elizabeth tonight then it meant we may have to attempt to drive to the next stop of East ...
