Sometimes you need just to wait a little

I am waiting on Shell petrol station in Kamieskroon somewhere on N7, around 70 kms before Springbok. The town is empty like my fuel tank. The temperature is around 35C, the sky is blue. There is a post on  the tank station saying 'TOE TOT 15hOO'. I have no idea what does it mean but I suppose it means that somebody will come at 15:00. The time is 15:12 and there is still nobody around. One bakkie just drove by, I stopped it and an old couple told me that somebody might come and open the restaurant next to petrol station at 4pm. So I said to myself perfect time to write a post for my blog. I already took my computer out of the case, when another bakkie arrived, full of local people, two on the back seats were really old. They stopped and the driver with sunglasses said nobody will come to this petrol station today. I said no problem, I will just wait for a little bit more.

While we were still talking (it was 15.34), I noticed a woman approaching from behind the restaurant. She was wearing T-shirt with Shell logo. I said thank god.

While I was puring unleaded gasoline to my motorbike, another bakkie arrived full of girls. They were playing loud music, singing and almost dancing in the car. They were very happy when I took photo of them.
I said to myself sometimes you just need to wait a little and everything comes to the right place. J

Now I am already eating delicious margeritta at Pizza Lounge in Springbok, the most north western town of South Africa. One of two girls sitting at the table next to mine outside, is telling me that she is born in Springbok but was visiting my second home town Ljubljana in Slovenia with her school last year and that she just loved it. How small world we are.
