We picked up the car it was brand new only been driven from Joburg to Windhoek. A little worried to be driving such a new car. We got lost straight away and ended up driving through some of the not so nice areas of Windhoek. On the correct road we made good time on the tar until the turning for Spitzkoppe. The road to Spitzkoppe was a minor gravel road it was slow going and Keeley was wincing at every sound. We made it unscathed to Spitzkoppe an impressive load ...

We got a lift from the South Africans to Ghanzi where we hoped we could get a minibus to the border. We stopped en-route so the South Africans could do there work checking out a site for a mobile phone mast. The whole of the local school came out to watch them at work. In Ghanzi we stopped in a very nice lodge in the wilderness saw Spingboks on the way in and Elands were around the tents. We had a few drinks that night not to many after the night before. Bad news...

The first bus from Kasane was a mini bus and halfway to Nata a tire blew and was left on the road behind us. There was no spare and we had to drive the rest of the way on five wheels. The locals seemed more concerned than me and Keeley. We made it unscathed to Nata and onto another bus to Maun. In Maun we went to the SPA to buy our cider and beer before heading to the backpackers. The Old Bridge Backpackers was very nice set right beside the river, the pool was ...

The woman in the ticket office was not impressed when Keeley swore not at her I hasten to add and threaten to have us thrown in jail. We managed to calm her down and change a dollar with someone to pay for our crossing. The cheapest hotel in the guide book was not cheap so Keeley stayed with the bags while I went in search of cheaper digs. Two ho...

Up early in the morning again. I was sat on the back of the pick-up on a homemade wheelchair, surrounded by crates and bags. It was a cool way to travel but I did get a lot of strange looks and I think some people must of thought it was a bit cruel to put the disabled man in the back. We were dropped off just where the minibuses went to the border. We were crushed in the minibus with our bags I was much more comfy in the wheelchair. We crossed the border got to ...
