                    <title>Last days of freedom</title>
                    <description>September 25thNo rush to be anywhere another lie in. Its almost eight before I make it downstairs. Breakfast out on the patio by the pool and then I try to book a shuttle to Durban. Turns out I need a credit card to make a booking and mine is in my backpack. Which is at my cousins in Durban. The woman on the phone is full of useful suggestions including driving to Durban to get my credit c</description>

                    <description>September 21stA bad nights sleep because of the wind slamming doors. Breakfast by the pool and read my book. Adrian tells me that Amanda wants to drop me off at the airport when she gets back from her tennis lesson. About three hours before my bus south is due to leave. As fun as that sounds I look online for a public transport alternative. Itll cost me R70 but I figure itll help Amanda </description>

                    <description>September 9thEarly start. Its wet and cold. So is most of our stuff. We leave Botswana and cross into South Africa. Five pages left in my passport. Theres a random check as we leave the border control and two minutes later we stop for acurrency exchange at this rate its easy to see why itll take us ten hours to cover 600 km.A stop in Pulokwan for supplies. Everyone dives into McD</description>

                    <description>September 6thBreakfast is delayed and interrupted by packing and goodbyes. We say goodbye to Cecelia Rachael Nichole Simon and Greg as well as Emily and Paul. Theres tears.New truck and a few new travel companions. A drive to the border and people get to know each other. Leaving Zambia is easier than getting in. Bianca and I trade a broken torch we found in our new tent for a wooden giraffe.</description>

                    <description>September 4thEarly start. Theres a need to get to the border before all the other trucks. The other trucks have the same idea. 5 km to the river and leaving Botswana is the fastest exit stamp Ive had so far. No wait for the ferry which were told could have been hours.Entry into Zambia costs 50 USD. Theres a risk that well need to show our yellow fever vaccine certificates or get t</description>

                    <description>August 29thAn early start not bad considering how much we drank last night. Porridge for breakfast. I stood on something sharp yesterday and get Gretchen to clean it out form me since it still hurts. Its suggested that I start wearing shoes. A 480 km drive today that manages about 5 km before the girls start screaming because of a scorpion on the bus. WomenThe Botswana border crossing is much</description>

                    <description>August 14thSleep in longer than I mean to. I blame the cold. I stop in a Wimpy for breakfast. The picture in the menu is bigger than the food itself. At least some things never change.I follow the Tradouws Pass a twisting road through the mountains. Awesome views. And follow Route 62 mountain vistas and winding roads. The road allows me a lot of time for introspection Im not certain thats</description>

                    <description>Between the cold and my roommate snoring I dont get much sleep. At least the waters warm when I get up for a shower. Instant noodles for breakfast and I head to Eurocar. One of the few benefits of staying at Stumble Inn is that its real close to Eurocar. By the time I finish the paperwork I realise Ive left my towel behind and I cant find my thongs. The towel I retrieve the thongs </description>
