Zimbabwe to Nata to Maun & Trying to Get My Dad Back to Australia

There were two routes we could have taken to get to Nata. The first one involved retracing our steps and going back to Kasane. The second was to drive further south through Zimbabwe and to go through a national park. Keen to see more of the country we chose the latter, which involved long gravel roads.

The drive was decent, and we only stopped once on the Zimbabwe side because two cars full of tourists had come to a halt in the middle of the road and gotten out of their car to see and hold a chameleon. We had no idea how they had managed to see the small creature from the car, but I felt quite bad for it as it got passed around from person to person. We later realised that it was not quite that difficult to spot, as we later  drove past a small turtle.

Namibia to South Africa on the Intercape Bus

Finally back in South Africa, after nearly two weeks away, it's nice to be back. After spending yesterday filling in time at Keetmanshoop (using up a cafes free wifi and then finishing off the book I'm reading), I managed to get a cab organised to take me out of town to the Intercape bus station. The people who worked at Rachel's Backpackers were finding it difficult to get me a cab however, it was after 9pm at night and most drivers had gone home. They somehow got me one, and for N$30 I was on my way. The bus wasn't set to depart until 11:05pm so I had time to fill at the service station until it came.
