Cross into Namibia

After a nice night and a speccy sunset we set off over the 15km of sand tracks back to the the 'mainland' and up the road to our next destination. The roads lived up to Botswana standards. We came across a nice stretch of roadworks and then...
Damaged my first rental car. Medium large Mercedes bus/camper came the other way so I pulled over as far as I could. He didn't. He just stuck on what blacktop there was and hit our driver side mirror which is no more. Sigh... Yeah, why get your massive 4wd dirty when you can just damage another car and drive off. Not pleased 😕
In spite of that, made it across the Namibian border no problem. Quiet and helpful staff. Had all the paperwork for 'importing' the car so no problems for us first timers.
Actually made our accommodation too early to book in, so ham & cheese toastie and a Savannah Dry for lunch.
Checking in time, we go to our car to get our bags and they get grabbed by several giggling staff ladies who carry them to our chalet as if they weigh nothing.
Luxury. We have air conditioning and can get laundry done. The hot shower sort of works, enough to wash off the dust of the road and our hair. Go to reception and book a sundowner cruise in the afternoon and a game drive at 6:30am tomorrow. I'm going to ask about fishing because there are Tiger Fish here.
Cruise was good. Saw one small croc and quite a few relaxed hippos. I'll get some photos off the serious camera.
PS : Fishing is booked. Cost? A whopping $35 AUD for 2hrs. Includes boat, gear and guide.Läs mer
