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!

Road trip start :)

Saturday afternoon April 13th

Et voilĂ , our group of 9 persons meet the truck which will carry us, our bags and all the camping stuff to go through North South Africa, Namibia, Botswana then Zambia, with the Victoria Falls as final goal. With of course, many many things and landscapes to discover on the road :)



More details on the trip: http://www.acacia-africa.com/acacia_overland/desert_tracker_19_days_2013.php

The group is quite diverse and friendly, with 3 Australians, 2 New-Zealanders, 1 Korean, 1 Spanish and 1 German.

We start driving for 3 hours through the Northern Cape towards the wine wards of Cederberg and Stellenbosch, with nice views on the way, which have almost some Mediterranean feel ;)














View from inside the truck /bus (a 24 seaters but we are only 9)




















































In the evening, after learning how to mount the tents and all the things for cooking & co with the truck, we have a good wine tasting session, perfect to meet each other. The wines and the tasting are a bit poorer than what I am used to in France / Europe... but I am being picky and an arrogant French here ;) Still bought few bottles for the road, of course!
