The journey Home.

We were up at 7am and had to hang around until 9am to leave or we would peak to soon.
Our first stop of the day was 2km down the road at a petrol station to refill our gas bottles, unfortunately the one that catapulted down the road in Namibia was broken and couldn’t be refilled só we had to buy a new one. That whole process took an hour and from there we drove to Echo 4x4 just another 2km up the road. Here we had a chat with a mechanic and told him we needed new roof struts, a new handbrake and various other bits. After a short conversion we decided it was best to leave the caravan there and let them fix it in their own time and Arbri at the storage yard would collect it.
From there we drove to china land to get some extra knives and forks and then it was a quick visit to the outdoor warehouse because we love it. Then it was to the storage yard. Our final mileage count was 7500 kilometres on the road.
It’s not been the trip we thought it would be, Namibia was huge and the distances between destinations are vast and those distances are boring. The tourist places are overrun with tourists and they are mainly German, young and all in hire vehicles with roof tents. Everyone there seemed like they were on their own instagram story and very fake.
In Botswana we didn’t see the animals we hoped for but the happy people certainly made up for that and it is very safe. And then it was back to South Africa where we feel at home snd everyone is helpful. Fortunately we did get to visit everywhere we wanted considering how the weather had been and we ticked everything off the list. We are going to miss this place again and are already looking forward to our next visit.Read more
