Our sojourn into Paterson

Our final project briefing trip was to a place called Paterson. We left East London around 8:30hrs and headed southwards towards Port Elizabeth. The winds were very strong and it was a cloudy rainy day. Pinkie was at the wheel again. I was the co-driver and Vuyo slouched in the back seat.   Pinkie had to struggle to keep the vehicle on the road as the strong winds, which were akin to a gale force winds, threatened to toss the Toyota Avanza into the bushes. Given the atrocious whether conditions, visibility was poor and, consequently, we had to travel at snails pace. We meandered through the hills and by 11.00hrs, we had reached the seaside resort of Port Alfred after passing through the little hamlet of Kleimonde.

We bought our takeways at KFC in Port Alfred and we continued our trip, passing through Kenton-on Sea and Alexandra. We arrived in Paterson just after mid day and found the Project Manager and Financial Manager waiting for us. Paterson is a one street town and all activities, be it social or commercial are located along the main street.

We introduced the Vodacom Change the World  Financial Management Project. Soon after, we left for East London with the atrocious weather con

ditions as our constant companions for the day.
