I wonder where they are now....?

Our last stop before the journey home began with another puncture. There was no drama, no having to change wheels in 40 degree heat and no worrying about lack of spare tyres. On arriving at our car the morning of our departure one of the rear tyres was quite deflated. So after a quick change we ended up with The Tank having two decent tyres on it for the final journey, and as an added bonus, it was tarmac all the way! Or so we thought..... We spent the first 30 minutes on suicide watch for warthogs that wanted to run out into the road from the long grass, as we had learned they are want to do, but luckily the only warthogs we saw seemed happy enough with their lives not to want to end them early.

This camp is home to the Africat F...

When dry, as it was on our visit, not much wildlife lives in the pan itself, but plenty live in the greener areas around it. Emma and I have a points-based 'spotting' game to relieve the boredom of long drives. In the UK it amounts to 'There's a cow. How many points?', or 'There's the sea. I get 10 points' etc. I am the one that generally allocates points, and funnily enough, I usually win, though I'm sure there is no correlation between these two facts. Points often get allocated after the spot too, so if Emma sees a cow, that often ends up being 1 point. If I see a sheep, strangely that can be 5 points. At least until the next time we play the game. In Namibia, this game became a lot more interesting. Rather than cows and sheep, we were...
