Days 3,4 & 5

Internet Connection was very poor on these days so I have decided to post a whole lot of pictures and say something about them by way of a quick catch up. Then I’ll be back on track.

Our hotel at Maun – very comfortable and very good food.
The road leading from the hotel
Wherever we went there were animals crossing the road.
The daily pit stop – there were a few each day, with the group studying the map on the side of the car to see where we were.
Typical Botswana scenery, flat sandy and lots of bush!
Botswana is streets ahead of SA when it comes to potholes! You can’t see too clearly from the pic but these were deep!
Don’t know why this one is sideways!!
We found an amazing place for lunch Sepopa Swamp Stop. Sounds like something out of the deep south but it was great. We had delish toasted sarmies, chips and beer there. Stayed for at least ans hour.
Our favourite Namibian animal..
At long last we made the Namibian border and made it with minutes to spare! we even had to endure a power failure and rebooting of the computer!
Straight after the border we entered the Mahango game Park where it is alleged there is more game than in Etosha! Hope not – we are going to spend 2 nights in Etosha.
The road and a Baobab growing sideways! No wonder it had no leaves!
Sunrise at our overnight stop, Day 4 Rainbow River Lodge – Divindu
Scary Urinals
River cruise on the Okavango River
The original SUP!
No idea why these pics come out sideways
Bloody big croc – looks like he’s just eaten!
Lodges on the river bank
Retriever looking out for crocs.
Another sideways one.
The rapids at Popo Falls
In a pool out of the hurly burly of the rapids. Fish came and nibbled on our feet.
The kitchen
Sideways again – starting to think its the beer.
Supper Table all laid out at Nunda River Lodge – next door to the dump we stayed in.
Hotel Lobby
Sunset over the Okavango River
Sideways shot, again. of the dinner table. Brilliant 3 course meal.
Angola in the distance – taken at Rundu
Tsumeb was a welcome intervention. I felt a bit like them!
Our Hotel in Tsumeb – Very cheap great draft (R21 for 500ml) great food – we had a braai and it was excellent then we went on to win the quiz! Proof that beer increases one’sability to recall long forgotten facts. Our prize – free dinner tomorrow night!
The pool. Water was chilly despite the hot day.
A quiet corner in the garden
The view of the courtyard outside our room
