Hippo.

We got up the following morning and had breakfast, packed up and headed to Chobe. We were going to stay at Ihaha Campsite. What a drive, loads more sand, but fortunately we didn't get stuck... BUT we did get stuck in a big mud puddle!! OH no I had thought we were clear of all that.

Anyway once again Clint taught Martin loads as you do the rocking thing - forwards and backwards until you can get going again and then just put your foot down and go which ever way you are going. Well alot of mud did we take with us, but at least we were out.

We drove through a few villages and Clint was desparately trying to find some 'fat cakes' to buy so that we could try them (local speciality). But it seemed that we were not finding the right shops. We got to our campsite which is right on the river - fab sight, but in this region apparently the Namibians come across by boat in the night and hold up the tourists to rob them - great!!
