We traveled from Rundu at the Angolan border down to Windhoek on our final day of the trip. Nothing much happened on route. It’s a long drive and took us nearly 8 hours to complete. All in all a fantastic trip.
Trip Stats:
Distance covered: Roughly 3,500 kilometres. Not much considering that Juan has put roughly 90,000 km’s behind him in Namibia since arriving two years ago. That is an astronomical amount of travel considering the circumference of the earth at the equator is 40,076 km. Could he have driven around the world twice?? I need to recheck his odometer.
Countries visited: Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, maybe Zambia. We were in no mans land waiting for the ferry to Zambia and had crossed out of Botswana before we made the decision to turn back.
You are out doing one trip that can make anyone green of enviousness in the face…I have also look into the receipts on your site…mmmmmmmmmm…I can feel the “stingy water” ( Swedish expression when something is real tasty) in my mouth 😉
I hope you have the mail I send you with an explanation on the expression…;-)
I stumbled across your blog while researching our three month backpacking trip through Africa. You’ve given us some great ideas/insights – particularly about Namibia where we will be for 2-3 weeks in July.
If you have a moment to help a fellow Canadian (we live in Toronto), I’d love to get your thoughts on things to do in Windhoek and which is a better adventure – Etosha or Chobe.
