After surviving our first night camping we packed up and headed off early from Highlanders Campsite. We were driving most of the morning, with only a brief stop for supplies at Springbok, before our first border crossing at Orange River, from South Africa into Namibia. This seemed very easy, the officials were happy to chat and stamped our passports without any problems. We were told later that normally it takes much longer and is often more difficult. From he...

Today we started our overland tour. After a brief meeting of our group last night we reconvened after brekkie today and packed the bright orange truck! Our sightseeing began with a tour of a local township, Langa. This was a black community, with different levels of housing. As a white person you definitely feel out of place here and appreciate the standards that we are accustomed to back home. While here we met some of the beautiful local kids and tried some ...

From up there you really can appreciate why the city is know as the city bowl as the mountains surround the city. From here we headed...

We made it to Cape Town, tired but all well. After making it to our Hotel we had a quick power nap then headed out to see the sights. We walked through the city over to the waterfront which is made up of heaps of restaurants and a big shopping complex. Beautiful scenery and great people watching! Wandered back hot and bothered, temp was about 27 degrees and not a cloud in the sky! Looking forward to some dinner and a long sleep tonight!
