Start from hell! 4 flats in 5km. Eventually I got one tube to hold. Long 153km ride, at least it is scenic and we have a coke and cake stop. Another night out of the tent!

Easy 127km ride to Seeheim, an old country hotel, very badly renovated, but another night out of my tent! Going to the Fishriver Canyon tomorrow. Only 1000 km and 8 days of cycling left!

Spoke to Jos yesterday. Said his legs were a bit tired, but enjoyed the rest day. He cannot wait to get back to Cape Town and ordered a bottle of Verve for his arrival!!

Today is a rest day. Hope to speak to Jos later on - heard there was some partying last night - so think we will allow a sleep-in today!

Some of Gerald's Namibia photos (check out the picnic!)

Wow! What a day! Easy 80km dirt road to Soussousvlei. Unbelievable scenery, mountains of varying colours, saw springbok and giraffe. Now at the lodge, gazing at the dunes whilst sipping gin and tonic!
