Today was just a travel day as we left Hotel Numbi campground to set off for Botswana. We got all of our things from the original safari truck since it needed to be fixed and we loaded up a trailer that was to be towed behind our mini bus that w would take to the border. The mini bus was comfortable, but I couldn't see out the window and it wasn't conducive to chatting so I got really bored and a little car sick. I ended up sleeping a lot on the journey, which was weird, but I couldn't keep myself awake at all. The trip was quicker that it would have been had we been in the safari truck which was a plus at least. We stopped a few times along the way for bathroom breaks and to get some snacks and it was an okay, but long journey in general.
When we got to the border we got our South Africa exit stamps and waited a bit for the minibus situation to be worked out because the permit they had was for the other truck and so they had to pay a fine. We eventually were ready to go and walked across the border into Botswana where we went through immigration on the other side and got another stamp. My passport is getting really full, I hope I have enough space to get home (I should)! Once across the border we walked to the campsite and put all of our things into the conference room at the campsite.
Once at the campsite we all hung out on the porch for a while until dinner was ready and then we hada great buffet dinner at the campgrounds. The food was yummy, but not the most amazing meal ever. We then hung out around the fire for a bit and chatted. The new truck arrived around 9pm and we were mostly too tired to pitch the tents, so seven of us decided to sleep in the conference room. Now were getting ready for bed!
this trip is going by so fast - hope that today was a fun day and all is well. look forward to every day that you post
