let the fingers do the walking

It’s a struggle each week to keep my curious fingers from bringing out the maps, unfolding the many creased sections and tracking out our progress from the coast. An overwhelming pleasure that I try to restrain until the completion of each week’s run. But today and tomorrow and all this week I’ll let those fingers do all the tracing they desire. We’re into our last week in Namibia! We’ve got 135 km until Katima Mulilo. Three runs until the border and just 4 days until we cross into Zambia.

Tomorrow we’ll make our way back into the Caprivi Park to finish up our last 15km inside before heading back out into what is hopefully safer road (not that I haven’t enjoyed the wildlife)! It’s just a little daunting to step out of the car when you’ve only just seen cheetahs and elephants and hyenas from inside the car windows. Although, waking up to hippo tracks winding through out campsite is a little cool. None-the-less, I’ll be excited to finish in the park and folding up one country’s map 4 good!
