Our final day!! A meander around Stellenbosch in search of breakfast before packing up the truck. Our final drive on our big yellow truck was only for one hour! Tessa has a private room in a stunning hostel for her final two nights ... a double bed to stretch out on all on her own some. Vikki is off to a hotel near the airport as she has an uber early morning start to catch a flight to Mauritius. The afternoon was wandering through the central city of Cape To...

Today was all about wine!! And some cheese. That is all ;-) Okay okay - we have some details to share ... We departed the hostel at 1100 hours and over the next 6 hours visited 4 winery's and had lunch in Frankchoek. We sampled 21 different wines and 8 different cheeses. At the first estate, Simonsip, we were taken on a cellar tour where we both learnt more than we expected. Although I have visited many vineyards and winery's this was the first time to be tak...

A simple exit from Namibia and a bureaucratic entry to South Africa, including police check of the serial numbers of all our electronic goods ... with 23 people on the truck and multiple cameras, iPads & laptops you can imagine how much time that took. Thankfully no one was carrying stolen goods. Also it turned out that none of us is wanted by...

Today was a short drive to get us to the Orange River which is the border between Namibia & South Africa. We stopped to change money to Rand and to do grocery shopping if required. We decided to change all we budgeted for South Africa now as we are now in a world that charges significant commission and expects passport identification in order to change cash. The campsite is on the banks of the river and at arrival we changed our clocks forward an hour to SA...
