Arrived at Felix Unite campsite on 3 February for our final 2 nights before leaving Namibia and finally entering South Africa. It was a rough day on the truck for me as I have had a piercing headache for 2 days and terribly body aches, fear that I may have caught the flu. As we arrived my pain level jumped up to a new level and I actually thought that my time on this earth may not be much longer! As it was our last day on the truck and our last time to erect o...

Long drive day heading towards South Africa. We are back on dirt roads and not sure how we forgot, but we all did forgot just how dirty we got when the truck is on dirt roads. The back of the truck is a constant dust storm and your eyes are constantly stinging. Eyelashes are just not extreme enough, I do think Oasis should consider giving us some googles for days like this. Our day ended today with a visit to Dune 45 at Sesriem.

Ruth came into her own today when I offered to go to the doctor with Zac and she said 'well I am certainly not going, I can't stomach another hospital'. My thought, wow, you ar...

Arrived today at a campsite called Cheetah Park. It is a farm just off the main road that has 18 cheetahs under their care. As we arrived we realised that we were the only people staying in the campsite which was a little eerie, especially as a number of the main buildings of the site are closed - it has clearly not been high season for quite some time in this part of the world. At 4pm the owners son came to pick us up in his utility. Half of us rode in th...
