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 [...]
We got up again very lazily and took what feels like three hours to eat and pack up. By the time we left it was already scorching hot. The road from Sesfontein to Puros was very scenic and in not too bad a condition. At Puros we stopped at Manchester United Trading CC Beer and [...]
We got up at 07:30, the earliest yet. Thanks to the millions of irritating flies we also packed up and was on the road by 08:30. We turned towards Twyfelfontein and stopped at the living Damara Musuem. Caro and the Brudis paid the R80 entrance fee and was treated to traditional Damara dances, games and [...]
We got up lazily and was slow to pack. Hugo tried to check why the battery monitor is giving low readings and lost a fuse in the process (the only one of its kind that we had). Mario lost a shoe somewhere at Mile 72, but there were no open shops in Uis and the [...]
