Windhoek We have stayed in the town for several days, the car is fixed again! And it has been great having shops and restaurants and fast internet access and a TV for the rugby!We spent Friday night having potjie (springbok, which was really nice and to my delight and J.P's disgust they put mushrooms in it too!) and drinks including shots of some grappa/rum/tequila stuff!, with the owners of the B&B we are staying in (we tried to camp but the campsite was no...

After a lovely lunch at Hilary's (as recommended by Jim and Sheri) we found the Landy garage.The news was not good they didn't have the part (something about a new A frame for the rear diff???) and we needed to change all the other bushes (J.P has these thou...
