I started the day with a call from Adz at 6.30am :) just after we had breakfast! It was ace speaking to him and he got my hopes up about hopefully managing to bring my flights forward so I don't have so long in Cape Town! Fingers crossed. Our transit day was a long one, we were on the truck from 7am till 3pm with only a short stop over for lunch and bush toilets! It was a long one but certainly the best truck journey yet!!! Grant, Phoebe and I spoke about every...

OK so we all know it gets cold at night in the desert but really... It's not meant to get that cold when we are sleeping outside. At about 2am (according to Adrian) the temperature dropped dramatically and it ended up being freezing! I didn't get much sleep at all just because of how cold it was. We had a 4.30am alarm this morning, and our alarm clock was Adrian switching on the truck engine with us on top! I'm glad we managed to sleep outside but honestly I'...

I was delighted I had an early night last night and felt so good when I woke this morning. The guys that stayed out, came back at 4.30am and were super loud.

We headed south on a 10 hour transit day to the Namib Desert the oldest red desert in the world. The scenery was just desert as soon a...

After 1 hours sleep, Adrian came into our dorm and woke us all up at 7.30am!!! This was meant to be my long lie I had been looking forward to since Kenya. Not a happy bunny. A group of them were all going sand boarding or sand dune surfing but I had opted for a quiet morning and my Township Tour wasn't starting till 3pm. Since we were all awake, Grant and Phoebe lay on my bed and newsed about last night for a good hour or so. I had such a fantastic night. One...

Another normal 5.30am alarm before we made the transit through to Swako!!! We were all excited about hitting Swako for a good night out and some civilisation! I slept most of the morning on the truck, the motion just puts me straight to sleep even though I get thrown about everywhere with the bumps. Today was one of the shortest days in the truck, and we arrived in Swakopmund before lunch. We went to the activities centre first where they showed us a dvd of...
