Well here it is... the ultimate, unbelievable, fantastic, mindblowing, obscene, blah, blah, blah, here is just a small tidbit of what we experienced while on our 20 Day Nomad Overland Safari:
Day 1
Whatever you do, DO NOT call our lovely Overland Truck a bus, or else you must buy everyone a beer! His name is Marvin, and he is a pure trooper, oh yes, he leaks, and is bumpy, and so on, but he was our home for 20 days and we loved him! After meeting all of our new travel partners and guides we were off to the Cederberg mountains in South Africa. On the road for @4 hours in the sweltering heat (little did we know that this was only the beginnnig of the heat, I guess we forgot we were going to the DESERT...duh) Armed only with inner tubes and our new buddies we were off for a lovely swim in the Olifants River. No crocs yet (so we were told), but plenty of leaches and local children who convinced us ever so politely( sure, sure) to give them our tubes. We are suckers, but those kids were so damn cute! This was our first night together, so the conversation was sparce unlike the mayonaise (he he he ...you guys know what I mean). We put up our tents and had a beautiful 1st night!
Day 2
