Day 320: a childhood trip
Lobatse! It feels like coming home. I want to show my family where I lived as a child for four years. It’s very emotional for me and I can’t hold my tears back when we get the chance to walk…
Day 316 – 321: Gaborone
It’s time to relax. Gaborone is the perfect place to do this. A safe, chilled out city. Not too big (450.000 inhabitants) for a capital but big enough to offer the things we need, like ice cream, pizza, hot water…
