The road from the Orange river on the Namibian border to Windhoek is long, straight, hot and desolate, the perfect recipe for testing ones ability to sleep whilst riding. Because today was an 800km day we decided to split it into 4 sections of stop and fill up, stop, fill up and eat, stop and fill up and then get there.
We managed Windhoek in approx 8 hours including a stop for lunch. We were rushing the last stretch as we were wanting to watch the 5pm game between SA and NZ only to get to our lodge harried to discover that they have no TV. Fortunately, we had wonderful hosts who agreed to let us borrow their car to go into town and we managed to watch the second half of SA trouncing the All Blacks.
Immanuel lodge is comfortable, the hosts are great and the food was awesome.
