We’ve made it to Springbok in the Northern Cape – a one buck town, tumbleweeds and all. It’s cold and windy and wet! I hadn’t figured on cold as I packed so am freezing my ass off in shorts and t-shirt. We’re sticking to our camping-only pledge and are camping next to a motel (something straight off the Flintstones set) next to the highway – real luxury! We’ve broken our ‘no restaurants’ rule already (we arrived here too late to do a camping dinner) and treated ourselves to a last Nando’s slap-up – though we’re going to be a lot more disciplined starting tomorrow, really. Up in the morning early to get ourselves into Namibia and to Ai-Ais/Richtersveld National Park and start the proper camping. This is our first night as homeless gypsy types – so far, pretty good. I can’t wait to get out of Bedrock though.
