This morning has to have been my best breakfast yet! We weren't leaving till 8am, yup that's right 8!!! So it was actually light when we got up, and it was a gorgeous morning. My alarm went off at 6.30am because I needed to have a shower, since we didn't have one last night. It was just so chilled and there didn't seem to be any rush which was such a fine change. The second last time Phoebe and I will take down our tent... sad times! We set off at 8am and hea...

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.

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. It is impossible though for 5 people to come back into a 15 person dorm at that time of the morning and not make any noise. It was quiet funny listening to them though. 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...
