Made some coffee and a bowl of cereal and got off to a slow start as I hung up some socks and my pillow to dry while I dragged my ass.
Finally at 7:15 I departed for Nata where I planned to camp, but the camp was closed so decided to go to Gaberones, also known as Gabs by the locals. Had some great encounters with a bunch of elephants and a couple of false charges got my chest pumping, got some good video of it.
Then met two Italians riding up to Cairo, they each had a back up vehicle ! I think his bike had five reverse gears and one forward gear, oh no I forgot that was their tanks.
Then outside Francistown I was pulled over for speeding , supposedly I was doing 95 in a 60 zone, 800 Pula ($80). The bummer was I had no Pula in my wallet and they let me go.
I then encountered some rain and got soaked and cold, why would you need rain gear in Africa ? Got to 17 deg C and then slowly got warmer and I dried out only to hit another cloud burst at the end of the day. I was starving and soaked so pulled into Nando's for some lekker spicy chicken and dry out my jacket. It's so weird I am always the only white guy in Nando's and the kids look at me a little strange. Did not make Gabs and called it for the day and found a crappy campsite.
