It took us around 12 hrs driving through Zimbabwe, crossing borders of Botswana, and driving all the Capivri Strip in Namibia, to finally arrive to Grootfontein, which seemed on the map the biggest city around.

We found our way a bit by chance, as our TomTom just ran out of battery and car charger just wouldn't work!!

Weather wasn't very campers friendly, so we just looked up for the first possible B&B around, which actually was full, but they sent us to another one around the corner ''The Stone house'' wich was absolutely fine for us.

After a short night, sleeping in a confortable bed, we wake up around 7am.

It was a chance we found a B&B, because actually last night's rain became almost a storm!

The owner takes us to Arrie's to get our Breakfast, which was included in the price. This pub is only 2 or 3 hundred meters away from the house. Breakfast was absolutely delicious.

After talking a bit more with the owner, we leave and go directly to Etosha Park.
