Today we entered Botswana and what a game changer that would turn out to be.
We started the day by first going to the local BMW Motorrad dealership in Windhoek to buy some oil. Not very impressed with the service but we did get the oil. After meeting Riaan yesterday for lunch we decided we would stop in Gobabis for lunch. We really did not know where and nothing looked very appealing. As we were stopped looking for a place in Google, the owner of the service station where we were, told us that we should just leave the bikes there and go around the corner for a good meal. He specifically suggested we tried the strawberry milkshake. Let me tell you, it was amazing. When I was a kid we would come was a family to South Africa and one of the highlights of the trip was the milkshakes, and that milkshake tasted exactly the same as the others so many years ago. It was deja vu every time I took a sip. Will not forget the milkshake in Gobabis, Namibia. Paula also enjoyed her burger.
We then asked the owner if he knew a Riaan that we had met the day before and he said he just worked across the street. What are the odds ?
We left Gobabis and headed towards the border which we passed in about 40 minutes. Spent longest in the Botswana side but no issues.
As we were entering Botswana the first things that striked me were the much worst road conditions and the lose cattle on the road.
Today was a connection ride to get us to Maun, the center of the Okavango Delta.
