05 September 2011

Hi there

Tommorrow is the day we have been waiting for - we leave at 07h30 - tonight we have a Braai and Press conference - we have polished the car so hopefully she looks perfect for the photographs tonight - we have already been informed of changes to the journey as the bridges between Ghanzi (Botswana) to Maun (Botswana) have "popped" as in colapsed due to heavy rain - so tonight we will hear where and how we are going to get from Windhoek through to Zimbabwe - hopefully through the Caprivi Strip but you never know it may be through Gaborone - I will try and keep you all informed.

The weather in Cape Town has been bloody awful with high winds and drizzle however the last two days have been perfect which makes you forget about the shitty days.

We travel on our temporary passports and hope we do not have issues with the Namibian, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambian border posts  - our new passports have been handed over to the Visapak Company whom are frantically attempting to get them all visa's re-issued by next week Monday and then they will send the passports to us in Lusaka.

The organiser of the trip has arranged a vehicle tracking device so that those of you that are interested to see where we are please go onto www.anfs.co.za    User Name:  afriod  Password:   mg

keep well and hopefully tommorrow night I shall be able to give you news on our first day
