10.30am. WHOOAA! Shit! Woken with a start as we get a blow out on the offside front! Chico handles it well and we stop dead straight. We are of course in the middle of nowhere. Massive hole in the sidewall. That’s now six in two weeks, but at least we are now well drilled. Stop off in Grootfontein 40km up the road for an unscheduled pitstop.

Saturday 6th August. Leave Rundu for Waterberg Plateau
An early start again this morning as we have a drive of some 450km ahead of us. Breakfast isn’t laid out by 7.00am so it appears we got up too early. And we find out to boot that we have another puncture on the nearside front. Godfried and DHG help Chico change it in record time. By then breakfast has appeared. Load up and we’re off by 8.15am, and we’re heading south west on the long straight B83. Stop at the buffer zone boarder post and it is very much more friendly than the last time. There is a Toyota pick up truck stopped coming the other way packed with at least 30 people in the back. All singing. It is wonderful! We all give them a cheer and a round of applause.
