Hi All, well we finaly crossed the border into Nam but not without our ussual little chalanges, we managed the S.A side of custom and left to cross the Orange river into Nam, we stopped in the middle of the bridge to take some pics and i think Buksie was a bit afraid of leaving S.A so prompty cut out and would not start again, well after trying every thing in the book we decided she had to be forced across, i got in buksietjie witch was on the A frame and pushed her across to the Nam customs, must say they were very amused at this and offered all their help, well we cleared all our paper works ad
nd explained to the Nam pollice at the customs that i would hhave to push her again until she was comfortable in Nam. thay had no problem and wished us well on our way, after about 50m she started and we went to Ai ais, near the fish river canion, really buettiful, stayed there for 2 days and we are now 20 km north of keetmens hoop in the only Quiver tree forest in the world, thay also keep cheetas here
and we wathced them feeding the cats, we will be staying here for a few days and then move up towards Sosus vlei and the great sand dunes, O K here are some pics, cheers Nick and Wanda.

How interesting to be following your journey
I'm following your travels as regularly as I possibly can. Good to know that you are coping and enjoying the adventure. I would like to know how you travelled from Port Nolloth to the boarder. Was it back through Steinkof or did you explore through Eksteenfontein? Hardap Dam is quite interesting as I spent some time there a few years ago. Chat later
