Last day. Gulp. Time to pack up,
donate our unused provisions to newly-arrived campers, and drive into Windhoek, to fill up one last time, and have a quick look around town - the cathedral
Just before the airport (where we'll drop off the car) is the self-styled "Eden" taxidermist!
Fun and games at the airport : Duncan had thought he'd spotted lightning on the way to the airport and, just as we reach the queue for the check-in desk, the power goes off! So a wee wait while things come back online. Two more cuts as we are queuing for immigration and then at security and, while we're waiting in the departure lounge, suddenly there's a colossal storm with torrential, Biblical rain being blown sideways across the runway (and it looks like the plane will be a walk across the tarmac!)
While it's a pain, at least we've had 28 days of virtually uninterrupted blue skies and, when finally it does rain with a vengeance, I'm nowhere near a tent! In fact everything eventually goes smoothly and we're through Joburg and connected onward home with little more delay and no drama.
So, after six flights, 15,931 air miles and 5,399 overland miles, it's back to Heathrow on a damp 12th November morning...
