Good fire last night. Still enough heat to make tea and toast on. Drove on past Grootfontein to camp at Roys Restcamp, (5.50 pp) where we had stayed 3 years ago. Just as lovely as we remembered, only a lot busier. Swam in their pool, chatted to the locals and sipped Gin and Tonics in their rustic African bar. Yet another scrummy braai. Sigh, I could get used to this. They sell a special biltong (drid meat) here and I can well recommend it. Only they call it "Kat Drolletjies" which means Cat Poo and yup, it does look just like it. Yum though. |
Day 170 19/5. Bush camp, B8, 0km east of Rundu, Namibia |
17°56.43'S 20°21.89'E. Miles today 160, Total 16388 |
A slow start (possibly those G and T's to blame?) Carried on further north and so we are back in real Africa again. Cows, goats and donkeys wandering across the road, no more houses - only reed huts and plenty of happy, smiling locals. Bushcamped somewhere in the bush. Knocked up a delicious veggie omelette. |
Day 171 20/5. Ngepi camp, 14km South of Diviundu, Namibia |

17°29.79'S 25°00.00'E. Miles today 204, Total 16680 |
Day 173 22/5. Namibia-Zambia border post |
17°82.64'S 24°17.74'E. Miles today ?, Total ??? |
Off to Zambia today. Just another border crossing. Geesh, it's been a while since we did one of these. A quick trip back into Katimo for fuel and a quick wander around the Caprivi Craft Centre. Great selection of cheap baskets and carvings, if you're into that sort of thing. No problems leaving Namibia, way too easy actually. Almost too good to be true .. |
