Today we rode 213k's to the Namibian border from Ghanzi. I have now entered my third African country since joining the guys which is pretty exciting. We left at 630 am this morning and rode while the sun was rising. We arrived after the sun had set. Passport control was pretty smooth from a process perspective and the accommodation we had earmarked was only 500 meters or so up the road from the border post. Today's ride was one of the longest I had ever done. Nearly 10 hours in the saddle. The wind was not behind us today and blew strongly to our side. The 26-30k an hour averages were not achievable. At times we were riding between 17- 19k an hour. This was day 3 of 5 consecutive riding days prior to our arrival at Windhoek. In the past 3 days we have ridden a little over 500 k's. My body is definitely hurting. The next 2 days we will ride another 325 k's meaning I will go close to riding 2100 k's since joining the guys. We self catered again today and it was the first time since riding in Africa that we were running out of water with few stores on the road. When we did locate a store soft drink was readily available but not necessarily water. Those that do know me may find it amusing that creaming soda and coke have become a regular daily occurrence for me. At home it is rare that you would find soft drink in our house. During our breaks I commonly find little kids or families about and share some of the sweets and biscuits we pick up along the way. It is Easter and I am not sure how the locals celebrate it but there isn't a price you can put on a grateful smile of an African infant when you hand them a lollipop or a sweet biscuit. We saw some wildlife today in the form of wildebeest and some deer and warthog. We are also seeing some alarmingly large insects that we have captured on our cameras. Everyone is again in bed resting up for yet another long day of riding (160 k's) tomorrow. Tonight we are staying at what appears to be a Christian camp (We are in separate huts that provide the basics and save us putting up our tents yet again) East Gate Lodge. It is quite cheap and our bikes fit in the huts which is a bonus. Tomorrow night we camp again as we trek toward Windhoek. We have an early breakfast planned so we can cover off as many k's as we can while it is cool and the sun is not baking us. 2 more ride days and I my part of the journey is over.
