Day 252 – Namibia

June 14, 2010 – Opuwo to Outjo, Namibia

Eric and I set off with hopes of driving up into the northern part of Namibia and across the top of Etosha National Park.

However, being that this is Africa, the road we intend to take no longer exists. So, after 20 minutes of driving in search of another suitable road and 15 minutes of reasoning & contemplation, we decide to turn around and head southeast to Outjo. The town of Outjo is located just south of the Andersson Gate at Etosha National Park, which puts us in a prime position to enter Etosha nice and early tomorrow.

We find a great backpackers to stay at - Kai-Oms Backpackers Accommodation and Lodge – and set up our tent… we’ve opted to camp another night because we don’t feel like sharing a dorm room with a family of four.

Much to our delight in Outjo we discover one of the best, if not THE BEST, bakery in all of our travels – it looks like it’s going to be chocolate cake and cheeseburger meat pie for lunch today… though not necessarily in that order.

Eric and I are super content – clearly, it doesn’t take much!
