Rested and ready! Tda riders enjoyed a day off in Maun, Botswana on Sunday. A popular activity on the day was taking a scenic flight over the famous Okavango delta (very cool, lots of Giraffes, elephants, hippo's, loads of other animals, and vast swampy areas and water channels). other riders booked canoe trips in the delta, while others just relaxed by the pool, caught up on laundry, or caught up on eating and drinking...
Tomorrow our travelling road show heads out across the Kalahari desert. % days of riding will take across the desert, out of Botswana, into Namibia, and to the cosmopolitan town of Windhoek.
There we will be able to sample the German style food...should be interesting..wiener schnitzel unt sauerkraut anyone?
Our stay in Maun has been friendly and relaxed. Arriving a day early has allowed for an extra days rest, which will hopefully pay dividends down the road...
we have survived the Sahara in Egypt & Sudan. Experiencing the Kalahari will be interesting. Rumor has it there will be headwinds. No problem; we have had headwinds since Sudan, so we are quite used to them. The weather has been beautiful; hot and sunny every day, with the nights cool enough for sleeping. I will take that any day, accompanied by some great days riding, as opposed to snow and cold temperatures in Victoria......Burrrrrr!
Next entry will likely be from Windhoek, Namibia, our 9th country in Africa..
Cheers, Chris wille in Maun, Botswana.

Hey Chris
Glad to hear you're doing well and meeting all the unforseen challenges that have arrived. I just got back from the snow COVERED Ridge with mom but I guess you've already heard about our version of global warming. Best of luck and a flatfree ride the rest of the way.
