Last night we slept near Windhoek airport, well 25 km away or so. This campsite is located 2 km from the main road and is very new. You can also park your car there if you want and then go home by plane.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hot water happens here with a wood-fired boiler, the donkey that is now smoking a lot so that we can take a shower.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday we visited that coffee shop that had charged us \u20ac58 for coffee, we thought. Turned out to be for 2 simple promotional cups that Lisa liked. Most expensive cups ever! And now I have to figure out how to customize a Google review.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we are probably going to Botswana to the town of Ganzi. I’m curious if the e-sim works on my phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Had a quiet and cool night here with a beautiful starry sky. Unfortunately, the sun is already plooting again at 7 o’clock and burns like hell.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is now Saturday evening March 16 and we are at a campsite near Ghanzi called Palm Afrique. A paradisiacal campsite with palm trees, 3 km from the main road (4×4 finally used) and with deer walking around.\u00a0 <\/span>Really….<\/span><\/p>\n

The road to this was very long and tiring. We stopped in Gobabis and almost blew away there. Lisa bought food for the begging children. The border crossing took 1.5 hours. It remains a circus that we are rid of in Europe, thank God, as well as that idiocy of money exchange. That’s just not possible here, too bad if you have something left over!<\/span><\/p>\n

You arrive slowly from Namibia and then have to go through a large fence and then you have to look for where to be. Park the car and inside where another form must be filled in. Where have you been, where are you going, where were you born. Don’t forget anything because then it will come back. Takes fifteen minutes or so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then back into the car to the fence. Stop and write in a large book your name, car, passport number, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drive into Botswana and first have a health check. Doesn’t suggest anything (they just look at your passport) but if you have 20 Chinese in front of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in the car and to the next building. Fill in the form, complete, and then stamps in your pass. Walk through to customs for importing the car and from there to the cash register for paying the permit. So a total of 1.5 hours with total nonsense. Geert Wilders, come and have a look here!<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, it was 200 km of complete solitude across the A2 with donkeys, horses, cows, chickens and kudus grazing right along the road. No ATM until we were in Ghanzi either. There we were allowed to take \u20ac135 each….<\/span><\/p>\n

A quiet day tomorrow. We stay here for two days<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday morning a quarter past 7 it is now and I have now made coffee. We completely forgot to buy yogurt yesterday so my normal breakfast with muesli will be nothing. Fortunately, we still have bread and nutella from the fridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last night it was full of unknown animal sounds and that makes you wake up more often. We will go to Ghanzi by car for some groceries and money withdrawals. Moreover, I have to solve my mobile data problems and this requires a signal and that is not present at the campsite. Wifi is.<\/span><\/p>\n

We pinned some money and bought yogurt. The mobile data problem has not been solved, but customer service is thinking along.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is unimaginably hot today with a scorning sun and virtually no wind. We have to take this into account at our next destination because a day of doing nothing at the campsite is not possible.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
