Botswana - the cycling

Leaving Francistown (finally!) after the lovely welcoming by Meredith and the visit to the Okavango, we head south. Capetown, we are coming!
There is more or less one big road heading to Gaborone. Which has quite heavy traffic. So besides wanting to visit Khama Rhino Sanctuary, we take a side road: lovely! Little traffic, very very friendly people, no noise, ...
Entering Gabs a Canadian family stops at the road side and invites us to their house. We really are lucky!

Our first couchsurfer host: a wonderful experience!

After a year of folding and unfolding, the windshield of our camping stove has given up. We haven't! So we have a DIY solution.


The main road has been rebuilt. We stay on the old road: no other traffic than donkey charts



China's everywhere! Quality? 

Visiting Khama Rhino Sanctuary we see lots of rhinos. These are small rhinos... adolescents!

A night visitor: what is it?

The Kgotla: comminity democracy instrument in every village in Botswana.


Yann asking for water, the kids nearly tear down the fence. Yann feels like the president shaking hands!




No, she is not our kid!



This pic-nic spot is taken, so drive on





Astrid goes breast cancer awareness

Patch number ..? But 15'260 km! We are passing the tropic of capricorn


Rain, after a long time.


Entering Gabs. Very interested people. Are we in the newspaper again?

South of Gaborone we are invited in by a Canadian family! We spent 3 days talking French (ah, I love the Quebécois!), resting and feeling at home.
