Day 13 – 14: Peach Pan to Ghanzi
We wanted to be on the road by 07:00 so Caro set an alarm for 06:00. The alarm went off, but it was still dark outside, so we continued to snooze. Jaco, however, heard the [...]

Day 3: Nieuwoudtville to Verneukpan via Loeriesfontein
It did rain in the night and was still drizzling when we started packing up. We set off further north towards Loeriesfontein and then Brandvlei. It was mostly gravel road, but in decent condition. At [...]
