The Kalahari Rest

At 8am this morning we said goodbye and thanked our hosts for putting up with us, Val is unbelievably passionate about the project he and Sarah are trying to build, and Sarah has put a professional career of dancing, and modelling as well as being an architect behind her to promote the social media aspect of modisa and I would love to believe that in a few years we could go back and see the fruit of there fruition.
Today was to be another relatively long drive to ghanzi and after dropping Robert one of Vals workers off in the next village and filling up for much needed diesel with only 3 litres left in our tank we set off.
The roads were exactly the same all the way through, small and medium trees, no houses just straight through the Kalahari.
After 600km, Pieter had, had enough and called in at a camp spot he had visited before. The Kalahari rest which although it does have some chalets it’s basically a motel for campers.
It is a beautiful place with large screened off camping areas, a swimming pool, restaurant and bar and even WiFi. The funniest thing is if we want hot water we have to tell reception and they will come and light a fire for the furnace that will heat the hot water.
After making it look like our trailer had exploded and set up our gear and tents we first went for a lovely hot shower and then went for a lovely meal all together at the restaurant.
We were all knackered after 2 long nights without a lot of sleep and by 9:30pm after catching up with some news and social media, we all went to bed.Read more
