Check out http://www.jorust.com/. She is an amazing girl, biking around Africa on her own for a year. We met her in Ai-Ais and she stopped with us for coffee. What a pity she's travelling faster than us as it would have been nice to cross paths later on, but we'll follow her on her website instead. Good luck, Jo, and we'll be rooting for you in the 2014 Dakar as the first South African female entrant!
On the less adventurous side, but loads of fun, were the 11 men we met at the pool at Ai-Ais. They were a scream of doctors, farmers, interior designers and dog-lovers, not a “camper” amongst them! We joined them for dinner and wine from a bottle – welcome respite from the “doos”. Lots of wine and song from the “male voice choir” of gorgeous men, but not an eligible one amongst them. Thank you lads for a lekker evening!
Now we're in Windhoek and trying not to meet our neighbour in the campsite, who's been living here for 10 months with his roaring V8-sounding BMW, his caravan and his klippies and coke. We worry that Peggy may be squashed by the BMW – she really doesn't dig that exhaust.
Off for our first G&T on the tour. Keep you posted...
