10th May
Today, we made our way further South to a place called Palapye, about 90 minutes from the Botswana border. The campsite was almost impossible to find, thank goodness for the sat nav! Another 5-hour journey, 360 km along potholed roads, although the last 90 km was on decent tarmac for a change.
Three vet inspections had to be passed, the first for a fridge check, we were waved through, the second was a truck check with armed guards (dare not take a photo), and the third was shoe dipping and drive through disinfectant water.
Once at our site, Itumela..OMG, talk about basic! We did have an electric hookup, but the loos and showers left a lot to be desired! I braved a shower and had to run the water for a while before it became clear! Still, we are in Africa, where water can be very scarce!

Tomorrow we will cross the border back into South Africa. Things should improve considerably..we hope!
