Day 1 - 7 According to Camryn.

Day 1 - Lebanon Citrus Farm, Clanwilliam.

Bathrooms were nice. Dad & Peter saw 2 Woodpeckers.Met a wet cat named Moggy Sanchez!Drove 10km in mud to get there. Weather- lots of fog and rain. The only thing that seperated us from the loos was an aeroplane runway!Don't worry Astrid, we took tons of photos :) We will try to send
a lovely one of the Pakhuis Pass that you will remember.

Day 2 & 3- Augrabies Falls Camp AKA Monkey heaven.

We arrived at the camp in darkness.The campsite was great and had laundry rooms and stoves. Their was a group of very naughty monkeys that stole a slice of bread and Energade Jellies from Gran's car!Augrabies Falls was a memorable experiance that was shared by some Dussies. I was lucky enough to see the Canons Creek combi ( I took a picture for you, Caitlin). After some bad chicken Schnitzels, Ciara and Gran were a "little" under the weather. The coldest temperature was -2 degrees = frost all over the tent.

Day 4- Berry Bush Camp, Tsabong.

While driving, my dad took a chance by deciding not to fill up on pertol at Tsabong and ended up with a litre left in his tank!His range was 0kms for 30 minutes.Loved the bomas and cute 'lil dogs there! It was absolutely FREEZING! More frost on... everything!Happy Birthday to Ciara! (who spent her birthday in the car - as you will soon find out!)We had for everything to defrost, so we could leave for Ghanzi. Border  crossing at Mcarthy's Rest was a breeze. We had to remove the
"slime" out of Gran's tyres, it caused a terrible wheel wobble that was most uncomfortable.

Day 5 - Elfari Camp, Ghanzi.

It was a veerrry long drive to Ghanzi. It had the best bathrooms and showers. More woodpeckers were seen there.We found some cow prints on the sand near our Camp. All we can say, is that it was the best outdoor experience for us.Once AGAIN, it was cold but fortunately no frost.

Day 6&7 - Ngepi Camp, Namibia.

There were bad potholes in the road and it was pretty hot in the car. The border at Mahembo was smooth and we found 3 spiders on the ceiling!Lots of game on the road accompanied by some donkeys, horses and some cattle. Arriving at Ngepi was our funniest! The bathrooms are the best part! Open to the air with sticks labelled, "door" and we even found a toilet named,"Poop a falls".(It was about 7 meters in the air). Our campsite is a hippo playground. The next day was spent eating a very delicious brunch which was ended by a cute dog finishing Chelsea's leftovers.( Chelsea got permission to give it to him). Our afternoon was spent swimming in a cage pool in the river. We came back and heard lots of loud & proud hippo grunts!(Although we didn't actually see any hippo).

At last we are connected after days of struggling. Thnak goodness for the iPhone and a pole with electrical points in the bush. Info to follow soon!

Minor Problem

5 days to go and no trailers yet;  lots of camping gear piled up in the garage and an eager bunch of
adventurers waiting not so patiently.  Hopefully the problem will be resolved in the next few days.

Countdown
