Windhoek, Namibia

Finally a week after our arrival we have a fantastic Toyota Landcruiser 2010, fully equipped for camping.  This will be our home and transport for the next 2 1/2 months. The jeep has slide out drawers with bins for everything.  The fridge is 12v and ample for our needs.  There are 2 tents, one actually on top of the jeep that looks super comfortable and the other which is a ground tent. Lots of cookware and of course safety equipment.
 We made a big push, 12 hours of driving from Uppington, South Africa to Windhoek.  The rains began as we left and offered an amazing lightening show as we crossed the red desserts toward Namibia.  The colors early in the morning on the golden grasses are really spectacular and other than the mining trucks there is very little traffic, good thing as we reaquaint ourselves with left hand driving.
Safely tucked into the Rivendell Guest House, complete with pool, we hardly feel we are roughing it just yet.  It was great fun provisioning for our trek which begins today to Sessriem and the dunes, the most famous dunes in the world.  It's early here in bustling Windhoek and we head out shortly.  Seems as far as the jeep situation it has worked out for the best as this vehicle is much better and we are much more rested.
