Same Payload We crawl out of the swag to see most cars are already packing up and on route to get there travels started. Karijini has been very busy due to covid keeping everyone in the country. But it is still worth the adventure. We grab a light brekky and coffee...

We waste not time getting moving in the morning before it gets hot, pulling along the main drag we stop and grab a snap shot in front of the hottest town in Australia, but not before hitting up the local shop for fresh bread, Asareh has prepared a great sandwich...

I fear for my life… more on this later Waking up we pack up quickly and head out before it gets hot and the gravel gets soft. In true fashion I point the wagon straight up the drop off from yesterday’s stuck and power straight up, was it a display of shear...

Waking up as the sun warms the swag we have enjoyed a surprisingly cool night, blanket required. So we are sleeping good on this trip so far. I make an egg sandwich to get me moving and stand near the water and stare at the fish swimming back and forth as Asareh and...

Nice try Datsun Birthday Boy!!!! We are all somehow awake at 7am, although a bit rough around the edges. I have a nice bowl of cereal and enjoy a bit of peace before a few flies come out of hiding and start to annoy me. Hutchy has new lamps he is opening, solar...

Up early, I have a look at the old haul truck parked up, you can see into the engine. Super cool. before a quick bit of power adding to the wagon. Bit more fuel to get it moving. A quick phone call lets me know Asareh is on her way to the airport to meet friends in...

Blasting along the highway at a blistering 97ish kmh I push all the way to Newman from Perth in 1 day. It seems I have a headwind regardless of the direction I travel, putting a speed cap on the old rig. Speaking of old rig, I did a few upgrades and added a roof rack...

The last day of our big trip, we motor back to Joburg over 2 days, I find I may have also done my steering rack in, which from the abuse makes sense. Its leaking like mad so to slow the leak and save the pump I add diff oil, steering is obviously a bit heavier but it...

These couple of days worth of blog are a bit hazy, as there was some booze consumed. We will jump straight into it though. We wake up and I clean a few items out of the wagon, mainly the blue boxes as everything else is bolted down as today is the day I meet the Port...

We have a rough night as we had a bit of water coming in through the ports, odd, but we deal with it. Its normal for a boat anyways. We are guided on how breakfast works, which wasn’t exactly all inclusive, as we actually have to pick a place to eat and there is a...

Its my Birthday!! Waking up Asareh is able to shower before the water can even boil, we are totally out of LPG, but that’s alright, we still got coffee. We start motoring south towards our destination of cape town. Asareh has booked us in at a special hotel...

Waking up still in thick fog, it feels like something from silent hill. It takes absolutely ages for coffee, this gas issue is becoming a problem. But we figure we will only be camping 1 more night as we are headed back in towns for the rest of the trip. We pack up...

Seriously, always take advantage of showers and laundry when it’s available. We head south to Springbok, grabbing fast food for the first time in ages, burger and pizza. But in a change of events we found Chili bacon, now this is an amazing treat and if I am found...

The sun finally peaks over the range, but the wind has not left. We are both not overly well rested. We get up and I drive the wagon down the track a few 100 meters to move around an old wall to take the tent down, this was a struggle. But we make it happen...

We tried to stay an extra night in town, but the place was fully booked, so instead of looking for a new place we start heading south which is a good idea as we only have 2 more days left in the country before we overstay our visas. Packing up and a quick...

Our day in Windhoek, with some quick planning in place we head out for a laundry stop, and drop the wagon off for a service. I lucked out and the local Mitsubishi dealer was able to squeeze the wagon in. The shuttle us to downtown and we begin exploring. First stop,...

Making a quick exit from the hotel gets our day running. On the hunt for a good carwash as the wagon is 10 pounds heavier in just salt crust. I find a place with underbody washing so up on the ramps she goes. We grab a coffee and relax, it takes about 30 minute to a...

The wagon gets a decent clean which will be pointless in an hour, but preventive care right? We grab a decent breakfast at the hotel and head towards Walvis Bay, there are oil rigs all along the coast which is very cool to see. In Walvis we refuel and grab coffee and...

Seafood is all we want, it’s been months since we have had anything fish related. So we proceed south, on route we pass a seal colony so we stop in, I had no idea how loud they are, let alone stinky. You basically walk through them, very cool, babies all over. We even...
