Just before day break Kobus arrived at my place and we set off! Not without the customary "Before" photo though!
We both have family in Windhoek, Namibia, and as we are both originally from there, we decided that his would be a throttle pinned exercise... as we're both pretty familiar with southern Namibia... the first day we pushed 947 clicks, and stayed over with Kobus' uncle who farms cattle in the Grunau region.
The south is quite barren - but they still cultivate a lush lawn and have several beautiful cacti gardens.
The following day we pushed through to Windhoek. With the compulsory stop at the Tropic of Capricorn.
We took today to have new rubber fitted to the bikes - our aim is to nurse this set of tires back into South Africa... we have a backup plan... but let's see if we can do it!
tomorrow it's off into Botswana!
