Day 38 – And then there was blood We got up lazily to a cloudy day. We thought of going to the Victoria Falls with a taxi, but then decided against it. We folded the tent up and packed everything in. Just as we were about to leave at about 10:00, Hugo went to get [...]
We decided it is time to leave and managed to pack up everything before 10:00. For breakfast we heated up the leftover spaghetti from Saturday and the Cordon Blue from Sunday. We stopped in Katima Mulilo for fuel, for which we had to pay the full amount for the first time since Cape Town. We [...]
We were packed up by 10:00 again and drove the very straight B8 to Drop City (Katima Mulilo, the city were the Brudis will be dropped). Sam started getting Hangry (angry hungry), so we stopped in Kongola for lunch. The fuel station had general shop with a ‘bakery’. Caro bought a Russian and Chips, Hugo [...]
Caro’s alarm went off at 06:00, the horizon just started to colour over the Kavango. We packed up halfway before Hugo’s cousin, Riaan, arrived. He took us on a small speedboat on the Kavango river. We spotted the Hippos the we heard in the night, a fish eagle and various other birdlife. The water was [...]
Caro already felt better the next morning, but when she got up to get something out of the car, the remote didn’t work. She tried to open the door with the key the alarm started to go off. Nothing seemed to be able to stop it. We tried locking the door again, starting the car, [...]
Caro got up at 04:00 as she wasn’t feeling well and went to take a bath. Hugo also woke up and started googling things and checking couch surfing. He found someone in Tsumeb with good ratings who also studied at Stellenbosch University. He message Jowandre to ask for advice on doctors and where to service [...]
Caro woke up with a sore throat and had to take some medication. Sam repacked his bag for the first time since Vietnam. We only got away at 10:30 again. Our first stop was at the giant Baobab tree where Hugo’s father served in the army. The tree is so large, there is a small [...]
We got up slowly and as we knew we only had a short drive today. We only left the camp at 10:30 and then arrived at our destination 40 minutes later. We went to the Eha Lodge in Ruacana so that the monkeys can catch up on some work and to update their blog. [...]
It was still cloudy we got up. Caro quickly ate breakfast and then went to the lodge to use some more of the WiFi. Hugo and the Brudis packed up in an hour, while it drizzled a bit. We picked up Caro and went to Opuwo to get a new number plate and some more [...]
Caro got up just after 06:00 and started sorting things out. The rest got up and 07:00 and the big ‘after rain’ sorting and packing out and in started. We managed to get most things relatively dry and packed in, but then we still needed to make breakfast. We also emptied to Jerry cans of [...]
