That is basically what we did.

We landed at 6pm on a Friday night. Had not organised car hire or accommodation.

Airport is 35 odd Km from Windhoek.

We got a lift from a guy we met at the Airport. Paid him a couple of dollars for it, obviously. On the way, rang a guesthouse and got some accommodation. He collected us later that night and took us to Joe's Beerhouse. After it closed, we ended up in a Shebeen. You can't organise nights like this.

A couple of days in Windhoek to settle and hire a 4wd. Check out the region and up towards Otjiwarongo, then off.

Down to Karasburg for some hunting at an associates place. Don't like the long open country for hunting (more like long range assassination) and off again.

Across to Luderitz (made a contact for some hunting near Otjiwarongo, north of Windhoek).

Find out about Fish River canyon. Off to it.

Come across Duwisib (German Castle) and stay the night. Get dosed with dodgy food from the Guesthouse owner. Kudu gulasch. With honey. Honey in gulasch? Hmm, honey masks all sorts of nasties. MMmmmmmmm, more please. Spend most of the night shitting ourselves. Don't run to the loo, just casually walk to the shower.

Off to Sossusvlei and the dunes. Shit it's hot.

Head up to Warvis Bay and Swakopmund. Get bogged in crushed seashells just off the Trans Kalahari Highway. Get to Swakopmund. Lovely town

Make our way towards Etosha. Spend some time there.

Head down to the contact we made for some hunting. Spend some great time with real locals

Time to meet our PH at Windhoek (turns up a day and a half late without notifying us), and end up spending a week with a not particularly pleasant person and his not particularly pleasant wife in a lovely area up past Grootfontein near Bushman Common Land.

Cut the hunt short (as I said, not a pleasant person) and head back down to Windhoek. Spend some more time there doing the markets thing around the region.

Purchase too many bits and pieces.

Bugger, time to head home. 9 weeks gone. Time flies when you're having a ball.

As mentioned, purchased too many bits and pieces. Was well over the weight limit. 88kg between us, instead of the 40kg.

The only thing that was organised was the hunt up north. That was the only thing that did not work out for us. Everything else was made up as we went. If we thought we wanted to stay a couple of extra days in an area, we did.

Great way to travel. Can't wait for the next one.
