I’m on Day 6 of my 10-day #MeetSouthAfrica trip. I intended to post on a regular basis during the journey but lack of time and wifi have prevented that. We’ve done so much. In the last three days alone I have crossed South Africa by bus from one end to the other (twice), learned to paddle a raft, made some awesome new friends, cooked my own gourmet meal in Cape Town, gone deaf in one ear (don’t worry Mom and Dad, I’m sure it’s temporary), and swam — yes swam — across an international border (twice).
I want to wait until I have time to do proper justice to these experiences before writing about them in depth. But in the meantime I thought I’d post this one photo. It epitomizes my experience so far. It was shot in a tiny town called Pofadder in the Northern Cape, in the Kalahari Desert, between Upington and Springbok.

#MeetSouthAfrica, baby. #MeetSouthAfrica.
Looking forward to your in-depth posts of your #meetsouthafrica adventure!
Love the picture and can’t wait for more! I think we’ve come through Pofadder too. What a name!
Can’t wait to hear about all of it! Funny, I used to have a picture of me in a similar pose on a similar road in almost identical country — except it was Nevada! For a second I thought you’d taken it here. Wish I still had that picture.
What wonderful Joy de Vivre! I am so looking forward to reading your entries about this trip.
Lovely photo! I can’t wait to read your posts on the journey.
You’re living a dream then!!

I am indeed. Haha.
I am so seriously jealous of everybody who went on these trips
At last I could download your blog… what I meant was in Pofadder.
