An actual holiday

It felt a bit strange going on holiday from such a tourist-y town, but absolutely lovely to get away for a couple of weeks and see some more of Africa. I'm just back from driving round Botswana and Namibia with some British VSO friends. 5,000 miles in 2 weeks and I feel a bit like I've come back to work for a break, but absolutely amazing.

Far too much excitement for one blog post really, but highlights included elephants at Chobe national park in Botswana, rhinos at Otosha national park in Namibia, a flight over the Okavanga Delta, sandboarding down beautiful sand dunes and seeing the sea for the first time in 3 months. We were mostly camping, and African campsites are brilliant - I got to test my Guide skills with proper fires, and when you wake up in the morning nothing's damp!
