Journey to Namibia
Hitchhiking is the most reliable means of public transport from Maun, Botswana to Windhoek, Namibia. Luckily - we found combi buses until 7km from the border. After waiting an hour for a ride, we opted to walk. An eccentric German joined our ranks - and only after crossing the border do we learn that he has zero money and a fishy story.
We part ways when we find a south African gentleman driving an RV who offers to take us to Windhoek. We think we are joining a family vactation until we reach the city and the ladies just start unloading! Weird! Oh! And this is after we ran out of gas about 30km from the city! The best part is we stopped at a petrol station about an hour earlier- but- he opted to not get gas!! The drive that we were expecting to take 3hrs took 5! Don't worry the only Namibian police we have seen showed up to take our driver to get fuel in empty, plastic coke bottles!
We did have a fun 5 day adventure through the desert- but it will have to wait. We are about to hop on a bus to Cape Town!
