Rest day in Windhoek

we arrived here a little damp yesterday after a wet ride across Botswana

Un-seasonal rain we were told, in reality constant thunder storms that went on for hours a day, including hail! This was supposed to be the arid Kalahari region of Botswana!

To add to our bad weather, the riding in Botswana included some of our longest days (including the longest at 208kms) on flat straight roads. The scenery unchanging, just flat scrubby countryside. With a tiny population of just 2 million we also passed few villages or people. It made for quite a dull ride. 

The occasional elephant or giraffe sighting was our only relief from the boredom.

We have a little over 1600kms  and just over 2 weeks to the finish line in Cape Town.
