Day 41 to 43 (25th August to 28th August)

We arrived at Otjiwarongo at 10h00 and phoned Joseph at Northern Auto Services.We explained our predicament and he proceeded to remove and dismantle the whole damaged ” Rolebar ” with his team and started welding every conceivable section that could break as well as the parts that  were broken. The whole job took 6 hours to complete and when asking what the cost would be he replied ” NO COST “. We were astounded and on our insistence he allowed us to pay each labourer a small token of appreciation. The Namibian people are fabulous.

We slept the night at a terrible campsite in Ondangwa but was in bed at 20h00. We drove 350km and with some difficulty found the only campsite in the area at a lodge that was in the process of being built on the Kavango river with the most spectacular views we have seen on this trip so far. Max started feeling lightheaded when bending down and getting up which was very concerning.
