Great to be back on the road again after delays , all good a necessary part of the learning process , everything else seems to be working really well , so today was a good test to see hold long the batteries would last in different devices , the first thing I found out was if you leave the USB cable in the Gopro after it has charged it fully drains the battery - well if you leave it long enough , so with a fully charged gopro and 4000mAh power pack im picking about 8 hours of battery on with wifi on the whole time , I got about 6 and a half hours out of the remote -so great to have two remotes ! Still having difficulty uploading video from phone and pcs might try youtube lower quality maybe , anyway was awesome listening to a playlist with some house music , also had some epistles mixed in on random next will be learning languages and downloading uni lectures -cant wait . So plan was to get to East London -a puncture a detour and not leaving early enough made for a nice early ride to East London tomorrow to pick up some parcels , still 170km is not to bad arriving in the heat of the day tiny tiny bit of cramp in calf muscle , camp ground was pretty much empty so set up tent right by the river then jumped in with all my clothes on and then washed them in the hot shower - about $6.50 for a nights accomodation.Cant wait to receive new dynamo hub regulator and to be fully powered up 24/7 getting by for now though , Ill see how it all goes and see weather I need the solar aswell trying to go as light as and keep it simple . Rung up Mum and Dad today , preprogrammed number calling from South Africa in phone then pressed left button on bluetooth headset it asked me who I wanted to call I said Mum then it dialed the number for me and then I was talking with Mum and Dad in NZ - Congratulations Mum and Dad on your wedding Anniversary ! Another cool/finny thing I did was to set my alarm with my voice telling me to get up , gonna yell next time!So here I am at the internet cafe writing a post and charging all my gadgets , just about to up load to strava also . It is great to have a phone connection also , the map function I find very useful for finding out whereabouts I am sometimes and also where other things are too and booking accomodation also . Great that the kiwis beat the South Africans at the cricket , that will silence a few . Harere ra
