Cool hostel with organic food (what was its name?), meteorite shower at Four Pines hostel, chicken buffet, famous McAfee Knob, sealing tent, laundering at Troutville Fire Station.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was the first time I saw this option – staying in exchange for help. This time I preferred to pay, but much later I would flip my mind. It was no space, so I tented outside. It was raining. That how I learned that the tent must be sealed. I wasn’t! So the next day I ride to the nearest outdoor shop and did it. To be exact, the manager did.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t forget how I had Trail Angels’ lunch in Tennessee a month ago but didn’t stay for their dinner with salmon. That probably why I stopped for two days in Four Pines\u00a0hostel, that was famous for their neighbors – a small restaurant running by a family, that was famous for their chicken buffet. That last point holds me for two days. Yeah, discipline never was my strongest property.<\/p>\n

McAfee Knob. Not too many people, not at all. 1 PM Monday.<\/p>\n

Laundry at the fire station. Hooray, now I know how to start the washing machine. Yes, there were washing machines in South Africa. We even owned one, just never touched. The maid did.<\/p>\n
