Namibia

Its been a good ten days out here on the overland tour. Spent three of them in the Okavango Delta in Botswana where we got polled around to islands in little dugout canoes. Went on game walks and while the walking was cool, the game was lacking. From there we headed into Namibia and two days driving through Etosha National Park. Saw lots of good stuff, a couple of lions and cubs, rhinos, oryx, springboks (which "plonk"). After that we hit up a Cheetah Park where this family has hand raised a couple of cheetahs and live with them in their house (and have a pet giraffe). Pretty awesome to pet a cheetah and then watch them being fed. Last night we were in Skiptzkoppe which is a desert area with big granite rock formations that looks like the US southwest. Had an unhealthy amount of alcohol in a cave, then slept on top of one of the afermetnioned rock formations. And now I am hungover in Swakopmund which is a little slice of Germany in Africa: bakeries, VWs and traffic lights everywhere. Got a couple more days here, then off to Capetown and then coming home on the 21st.

Cheers
