Malaria – our mad dash to the doc in Skukuza

Half way between Letaba and Satara, Alex started vomiting. This was getting bad! Steven stopped the car so I could clean Alex up a bit. As I walked behind the car to the other side, I noticed a trail of drops behind our car. I tested it with my finger. Oil! Lots of oil! We had the car serviced a few weeks before and when Steven went to fetch Ava and Aiden two days earlier, there was not a drop of oil in the car! He filled it up, but we were still leaking oil like and elephant bull in musth!! Quickly, Steven topped up the oil and we were on our way again. We needed to get Alex to Skukuza as soon as possible. But now our car was giving problems.
