“Every good gift comes from the Father.” RBC
Had a wonderful nights rest! Awesome. We were able to spend the morning at the Livingstone Museum. They have a special exhibit on Dr David Livingstone. Wow it was fantastic. They even had some of his original letters that he wrote.
We were then able to have a lovely cup of coffee and Kubu Coffee shop with our hosts before heading off to the Airport to pick up Dave. Dave is meeting us in Livingstone and travelling back down to Cape Town so that we can have some time to chat.
And so soon after 2pm we head for the Namibian border which is 200Km away. The road is really deteriorating now and some urgent attention is required. We made the border in good time. A complete shock when the custom official informs me that we can only take the vehicle out for 30days. If I want it for longer I have to go through an agent and export it and then re-import it on our way beck. This was going to cost over R 2500. Oh Africa can’t we just keep the laws we have instead of changing all the time. After a very humble talk with the head of customs we found a way around the whole situation. He was explaining to me how the crooks are stealing cars by using an temporary export permit. Again the actions of the few controlling the many!
Eventually made it to Namwi Island Campsite , which is on the banks of the Zambezi River. Wow the river has risen in the last two weeks. The road is a mud bath!!
Had an awesome evening and a good rest. Fortunately no rain.
“ Lord thank you for getting us through the border and a safe drive over that very rough road.”
6200 Km down and 2800Km to go.
