Today I sit at Windhoek airport waiting for the start of the long flight home. So much has happened, and I think it will take a while to absorb. Memories of places and people, smells and sounds…

Back to Windhoek

Posted on October 14, 2012 in Travel.

I have made it back to the capital of Namibia, and my first city in many days. I have returned the camping vehicle, and now find myself in the strange confines of a hotel room…air conditioning! It was a strange feeling to unload the truck and get everything packed again. The drive down was not [...]

A road less travelled

Posted on October 13, 2012 in Travel.

The last two days have been about covering distance…making my way back to Windoek, where I leave from on Monday. My last Internet connection was in Kasane, Botswana. I started the day on Friday morning early and headed through the top of Chobe game reserve to the border with Namibia. I planned to enter at [...]

Zimbabwe

The afternoon ended with tea at the Victoria Falls Hotel, a trip back in time into a past that seemed frozen. This old imperial British hotel still had porters dressed as they were 100 years ago in the time this town was a destination from Europe. The old decor is perfectly intact and you would [...]

The cucumber incident

Today I am in Zimbabwe, visiting Victoria falls. Hard to believe, I found wifi in the back of a curio shop. Well the story of the day…. It started well: sun shining, and on my way to Victoria falls. The border crossing was easy, save a long wait. I immediately noticed something different in Zimbabwe: [...]

On to Kasane

Posted on October 11, 2012 in Travel.

I have left the Moremi park and made the long trek around the sand roads through Nata to Kasane where I am staying in Chobe national park beside the Chobe river. The drive was a recollection of driving along roads and through towns sitting in the back seat of our Volkswagon beetle with the dog [...]

Back on the road

Posted on October 9, 2012 in Travel.

By mid afternoon the other campers had left and I was about to spend the night totally alone. It seemed ok until the sun went down, and all of the night sounds started. My imagination started to free fall as every breeze moved trees, branches and my tent. I had seen an elephant in the [...]
