That was Namibia

89 birds
13 animals
2800 km
26 days

Mostly Nam was about finding our groove, which I think we did. We're getting more familiar with the enormous bird book (2100 entries for Sub-Saharan Africa – I ask you!) and where everything fits in the car.


The inverter has broken before it even got used, which is very annoying, but we'll cope. Preshy had another check-up in Windhoek to sort out the shock bushes and fix a broken wheel-hub bolt. Those are the last of the problems resulting from disastrous training with Herman Duiwelbrecht. Steer well clear of the cowboy at Angel 4x4.
Peggy is well into her groove now and has survived one cut ear and many thorns in her paws. She's very adventurous and takes herself for walks when allowed, but as soon as we start packing up to move on, she gets into her bed and stays there until we get to the next place.
And we've had at least one G&T so far, as well as many beers and at least 10 litres of “doos” wyn. All is well on the Djin and Tonic tour so far.
