Botswana, here I come!!!

I spoke to my Maun friend again. He says that the road to Maun is in a very good condition, albeit long and straight! Apparently there’s a backpackers’ lodge about 10km out of town, with camping facilities. I checked. He’s right. And they’re remarkably cheap, too! Only expensive thing is the fuel to get there! I’ll have to start saving!



One step forward, two steps back...

As the result of a terrible error in judgement, I have almost no money with which to complete the cosmetics project. No, I’m not going to borrow anything, but I might get some friends in on the deal and find out how to do this well without breaking the bank… Can’t be that difficult, with the right people involved!



A boost from an interesting source...

The VW Beetle is 75 years old this year, and as a result the South African Mint is planning a big rally to commemmorate the event and launch a nice new coin. Anyway, I plan to be there as well, so now I HAVE to get the cosmetics on Goggo done by 20 June 2010! So at least I’ll have a bug that LOOKS good…



Maybe into Botswana....

I have a friend who is a pilot in Maun. He has convinced me to come to Botswana some time. There is only one rub – Botswana is a massive country, with much of it wilderness! I don’t know if Goggo will be able to make it, but it won’t be for lack of trying!



First, get the Beetlebug in a good enough shape...

... which might not be as easy as I thought it would be…

And then save up some money for fuel!!!



Going nowhere slowly...

A friend of mine informed me that the original 3 months I set aside for this road trip will not be enough. She maintains that since this is the kind of venture one attempts only once in a lifetime, it should be done leisurely and in style…

So that means I’ll have to be able to kiss any bosses goodbye before I do this kind of thing, and the person whom I plan to drag along should be able to do the same…



Doing the Beetlebug thing...

There are only a few places in South Africa where I haven’t been, but I haven’t seen as much of SOUTHERN Africa as I want to… A VW Beetle is a sturdy little car and I reckon mine would be able to make this trip with ease… Now to find me a driving partner who would be prepared to travel on the back roads with me…
