It is hard to believe I have only been touring for 19 days and Vic and I have travelled just under 4500 km to get here to Katima Mulilo. This is my last stop before I cross into Zambia tomorrow.  Namibia has been a wonderful...

I chose to do a short ride today –  a mere 200 km. Victoria was not even warmed up yet and we arrived at Nunda Lodge on the banks of the deep and slow moving Okavango for our nights stop .   I set up camp and ...

I was up early to pack up and to see where I ended up. One idea was Roy’s camp outside Grootfontein, I  was not sure yet. The rumblings of the King seemed far away this night,  so sleep washed over me and just like...

Lying in my tent with tranquil sounds of Rodriguez caressing the night air, I thanked the universe for this time and this world thinking back on the day I had so enjoyed.  I fell asleep in a world at peace and lyrics from...

Today took me from  the stopover in Solitaire , the tiny town that has slightly more inhabitants than letters in its name , through two magnificent passes –  the Guab and Kuiseb . Over the tropic of Capricorn,  through the...

After setting up camp in Sesriem , I tried to organise a trip into the dunes for sunrise and then onto Sossusvlei , as the park would not allow the scooter in . What I had not realised is, is that you have to stay in the Sesriem...

The morning in Aus was clear and still with the only movement coming from the staff setting up for breakfast. The mopping of the never-ending fine Namib dust that seems  to find its way into everything . That been said, it does...
