Our last stop in South Africa

We didn’t sleep particularly well - we have a couple of very loud snorers in the group! We'll have to take note of where they pitch their tents ⛺️ tonight! 😂 There was a storm overnight, too, but it was relatively dry by this morning.

We got up just before 6 as we had to have our tents down and be ready for breakfast by 7. I was first to the showers. By the time I came out, there was a queue! The joys of a big group!!

Henry had made us sausages and fried eggs 🍳 for breakfast, along with the usual toast, cereals, and bananas 🍌. It was a welcome start to the day. The usual suspects missed it as they were too late! There were 3 tents ⛺️ still up at 7.30am. Laban ended up taking them down so that we wouldn't be late leaving. It's my only bugbear on a trip like this - people who can't be on time and follow simple instructions! On the last leg, we didn’t have anyone like that. This time, we have a few! Hopefully, they'll improve as time goes on!!

Laban has split us into 3 groups to help with chores. Mark and I are in different groups - I'm in Chobe, and Mark is in Etosha. Today, I am on pot washing detail, and Mark is assisting with cooking. I'm very happy to learn that we will be flapping on this trip - no tea-towels required! 😀 It's like being back on a Dragoman truck! There were people who didn't participate this morning. We'll see what happens tonight!

We left a wet campsite by 8.10am, heading for lunch at Springbok, our last scheduled stop in South Africa 🇿🇦. We have had an amazing seven weeks in this country, but are very much looking forward to seeing what Namibia has in store! 😀Read more
