this journey took us 28 hrs. of straight transit. it's possible that over the course of those 28 hrs. we used every mode of transportation that has ever been invented (save rollerskating and ostrich-back). here's a summary:
livingston to kazungula (border town between zam and botswana) by taxi; kazungula to kasane (botswana) by pontoon ferry across the zambezi river; kasane to francistown by tractor trailor; francistown to gaborone (capital of bots) by night train; finally, gabs to jo'burg (s. africa) by mini-bus. once again the transport made for some great stories and experiences. special thanks to patrick, brooke and jarod for letting us hitch all the way to francistown and for treating us with such generosity. no thanks at all to the botswana rail system for "letting" us sleep in the doorways on the floor of your train.

Tractor trialer, eh. I'm sure that was a blast. Lars, take notes on South Africa. I'm sure I can use your wisdom before I go out there.
livingston to joburg is not a fun journey... glad you guys made it anyway. are you bypassing namibia completely? heading to capetown next or doing a few things in south africa? capetown is grand - very touristy, but a nice place to chill. if you are still doing namibia let me know and i'll recommend stuff - if not, have fun on the rest of your trip!!

can't wait to see you guys and hear even more stories about your travels!
love ave
