After leaving the campsite we headed for Namibia!!! The tent was wet and everything was covered in sand but what else could you expect in the Kalahari. I managed to get a good sleep on the truck in preparation for the evening :) It was a 7 hour transit day in total with a smooth border crossing in the middle! Yup my passport is filling up with some pretty cool stamps :) Today was the last day for 6 people on the trip and there was a chance more people would ...

Our alarm didn't go off till 6.30am this morning! Yay. The tent was soaking when we took it down though, so it wasn't much fun and dubby hands when we'd finished.

Our first stop was the town of Maun to get 5 litre bottles of water, snacks and some more alcohol!
