We need to get everything ready, do the last service and modifications to the bluepandy before loading in the container. South Africa is one of the best places to do this, but we were not expecting some of the worst weather conditions in a decade.
First things first, we want to do a modification to our solar mount, to be able to have them on top of each other and give full space to our surf boards. It was getting pretty tiring to have to take the solar panel off when using the boards. Victitec is making a special mount for us. The quality of their build is unmatchable!
Second thing, we need to change the oil of the transmission and axles, last time was in Jordan. We go to Pon Steyn again as we trust this guy's with Land Rovers .We also need to get many new spare parts for the future. The weather gets worse and we decide to get an apartment for the week. It is not in the safest neighborhood but therefore we can afford to stay looking at Table Mountain and Lions Head.
We are lucky one day with the weather and climb table mountain, it always amazes us that such a beautiful mountain is meters away from a big city.
The time comes to put the bluepandy in the container. We decide to don't be there this time and fly to our next destination. Africa overlanders takes care of it.
This is the end of Season 2. Get ready for new adventures, first without Landy and then in South America!
Enjoy the Ride!

The Bluelandy is officially out of Africa, meaning this is the end of Season 2 - Going South. Which moment was your favorite of the season?

I'm really sorry that you're leaving South Africa without exploring KZN and Mozambique. KZN is home to a world herretige site, Ezemvelo.

I discovered your channel during season 2 and almost immediately went back to the start of season 1. I've watched everything in the last few weeks. What an extraordinary journey, thank you for sharing it with us. I appreciated your honest and humble way of travelling, and also your courage in the face of situations that seemed rather difficult. Good luck for the rest of the trip.

Your whole trip is a favourite. Really looking forward to the next phase in South America.

Sorry you have left Africa but look forward to your travels in SA

I have enjoyed you videos in Africa good luck and safe travels in South America. In terms of politics and segregation unfortunately the current government that has been in power for 30 years has failed its citizens load shedding is a classic example of tgese failures. If it where not for them stealing the money there would have been enough funding to have closed any gap in income groups by developing a robust economy. Instead they now promote this economic disparity for their political survival. As concerned South Africans we do hope the 2024 elections bring a new government that can change the current situation.

I recognized, that your passenger airbag is not longer in operation. Well, the holder is still there. What happened?š®

The South African scenario is complicated, even when foreigners experience it, they struggle to fully comprehend the delicate intricacies of the fragile balancing act that is life there. Everyone you chat to will have a conflicting opinion (some quite wild) one can go down the rabbit hole and end up none the wiser. I am sorry you were not able to explore more of the country, particularly out of the winter rainfall area. I am pleased that you were safe and well prepared for your onward travels. Thank you for sharing you wonderful videos.

Hope you enjoyed my City, I could offer you accommodation if I knew! Next time! Have a safe trip and I'm looking forward to your next video!!
-

I wish you all thats good in the future.

Looks like Bluelandy is in top shape to take on South America. Hope all goes well with the shipping. Looking forward to the next part of your trip!

Don't you have a cooker in the car? Could you have taken it to the apartment to cook there? Surprised the garage doesn't have a manual way of opening without electricity. Hope you enjoyed Africa. I enjoyed your production, editing and narration. Keep it up! Looking forward to your South American adventure. Where will you go wait? Are you flying to South America?
