Mark called round for a coffee and a chat,
Mark then made a move for home so we settled down to another adventure, this time from the same series, Botswana Special, again they have to buy a budget vehicle locally, this time to buy a car for less than £1500, and use it to travel from the Zimbabwean border to the Namibian border, a trip of 1,000 miles, but it must not be 4 wheel drive or be designed for off road use, it sounds easy but they had to transverse the Makgadikgadi salt pan, it has a thin solid crust, under which lies a mud like substance, it is the worlds largest salt pan, no prizes for guessing if the cars got stuck or not, the trail also went through the Okavango Delta, inhabited as one said 'by lions and tigers', so what better than to place a cows head and pieces of steak into Jame's car to attract them, I kid you not! great fun, we then watched a couple of shows on satellite television then we were off to bed.
