The story so far ...

24.06.2008 25 °C

Sorry for lack of updates folks, but internet access is pretty sparse here

So, here's what I've been upto in very (seriously) condensed format -

Bummed around Cape Town for a few days. Got some good views from Table Mountain, went to Robben Island, and finally met up with my travelling group.

There are 22 on the truck, plus 1 driver, a co-driver and a cook.

All seem like a pretty good laugh so far. Probably my best 'buddies' would be Tatiana (who's Mexican) and Dawn/Jeff who are both from some backwater country (Canada, I think ...).

There's a few English guys on the trip, plus a good crowd of the Irish, who always seem to be at the centre of the laughs on the truck

We spent most of the first few days driving up to Namibia (about 12 hours driving a day). There's been lots of card games, and even more sleeping.

We're now in a place called Swakopmund, which seems to be a German flavoured tourist spot. Just got back from Sand Boarding (lying on a board, and flying down big dunes) and Quad Biking in the desert (which was awesome).

Now off for din-dins with a few of the guys ...

Next update ... god knows !!!
