Back on the air-conditioned coach today to visit the most southern point of Africa prior to arriving in Capetown. Seemed like a very long drive just to achieve this, but I think the fact that I have sat on the truck for 16 weeks now means that my tolerance level has decreased to long drive days. Cape Agulhas was however very pretty and I am glad that we went. It is the geographical most southern tip of Africa and the official meeting point of the Atlantic and ...

This morning we had to say our goodbyes to Dirty Girty (our truck). Nick drove us to the border (15 mins) and then we transferred our masses of luggage to a coach. I must admit that it was nice to have an air-conditioned coach to travel in, however we immediately noticed how anti-social the seating layout was and were grateful for Girty's layout over the last 4 months. Thankfully a coach for 20 had been booked even though we were only a group of 10. This mean...

Arrived at Felix Unite campsite on 3 February for our final 2 nights before leaving Namibia and finally entering South Africa.

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. It is a sand dune that is over...

The truck actually went on a detour today and took us to Spizkoppe which we were meant to do on our way here from Cheetah Park, however as explained we had to get Zac to the doctor so we are making up for lost sight seeing today. We decided that we would walk in the morning whilst it is still cool and be back in town for the afternoon, so at sunrise we headed off (6.45am). 2.5 hours later we arrived and got some vague instructions of potential walks. A guide...
