What is this blog for?

Yes, I am lucky enough to realize one of my dream: doing a world-tour traveling Eastward, crossing about 20 countries during 7 months :-))
This blog tries to share part of this personal experience, through pictures, descriptions and thoughts. This is also to keep a track for me to remember later on ;)
Enjoy and do not hesitate to comment!

Orange River county

Sunday April 14th

6am wake-up, quite fresh in the tent and outside, then sun quickly sunrise and warms up everything. We have to drive today about 400Km through the North West of South Africa, landscapes transforming more and more into desert types, with roads becoming less well paved.
We will reach the Orange River at the frontier of SA and Namibia, where we should be able to swim a bit in the afternoon then have some kayaking the morning after.

Being in the truck for 6h goes faster than expected, as looking around is really making the journey.









Arrival at Orange River: on the left Namibia, on the right SA 

Once arrived at the site, nice to see the sign showing the end of this road trip... Victoria Falls might be at 2,500 Km with a straight line, but our driving will make us do more than 3,500 to go there!!


I swam to Namibia with 3 others from the group, quite amazing to be able to cross between the 2 countries without any restrictions... it meant we were there "illegally" as without papers nor visa stamping, haha.
