That is the magic number of riding days until Capetown (Five riding days until, Windhoek Namibia, then six riding days 'til our next rest day, and then a final six riding days til Capetown. We still have over 1,500 miles to ride, but given what we've been through so far, this definitely feels like the beginning of the end.
I'm in Maun, Botswana which is the launching point for safari's in the Okavango Delta. I may take a small hour-long plane flight over the delta, but otherwise this will be a true rest day.
Past few days we have been riding very long distances (over 100miles/day) through a national park. We've seen antelope, giraffes and some elephants (see pics attached).
That's about it for now. Pics of restday (and my tent and my mess), elephants, and morning sunrise are attached.

Alak, We have been “listening” in on your musings along the way. Thanks for sharing your blog with us. And as Josh's Mom, I thank you for sharing the bucket of KFC with him, otherwise he probably would have eaten the whole thing...yech! we raised him so well, even made our own babyfood!
Your blogs have also made it into Josh's uncle's hospital room. His aunt has been living in hospital caring for him for over a year. Your blog, along with others, have filled her long days with adventure! We look forward to your next entry.
Enjoy your magnificent entry into Capetown. We will all be there in spirit!
Ellen
