\"Why<\/a>
Why hello!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a mega sleep of over 9 hours I went outside to find my biking shorts & top were as wet as I left them after washing last night YUK. I had an equally mega breakfast cooked by Rianne. I cleaned the bike of its creepie crawlies \u00a0and then we went around to her sons general store where a cash machine lurked in one corner \ud83d\ude42 after he refilled it I was able to pay my dues and be on my way to my first town in Botswana.<\/p>\n

\"Rare<\/a>
Rare vultures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Didn’t see any big animals \u00a0but a lot of vultures which apparently are in rapid decline here as in India. One bird\u00a0Cuba has in abundance! Followed by watching a dung beetle at work – fascinating to see it rolling a ball as big as itself down the road and into the verge.<\/p>\n

Had to love the Nando sign saying “Are we there yet” 200 miles to the left and 300 miles to the right. Kids you are in for a long wait..Although the junction would be an ideal spot for a filling station.<\/p>\n

Finally making it wrecked to The Kalahari Arms hotel, chosen by Sally since the phone internet still wasn’t working correctly. Decent size pool and a circular chalet with AC \ud83d\ude42 Excellent with a Spar etc across the road..<\/p>\n

Strava says<\/a> 72.5 miles and a mere 149 feet of climbing \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0The pics are here\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
