Road Trip!

On Wednesday night, I left with a group of 10 people from Acts Family Church for the road trip of all road trips. Our destination: Namibia. Our ETA: 22 hours after departure. We were to travel, by car, from South Africa, through the Kalahari Desert of Botswana, and on through the Namib Desert of Namibia, all the way to the coastal town of Walvis Bay, Namibia, which was located on the Atlantic Ocean. And so, our long journey began...

Our first stop: Botswana!

I'm not gonna lie, there was absolutely nothing to see in Botswana except for the dry Kalahari Desert. By the end of our trip, Botswana was synonymous with BORING!

We finally reached the border of Namibia...

...which was apparently proud to be "Cattle Country"!

But, again, we found ourselves riding into more desert, this time the Namib Desert. We passed the time counting warthogs that we spotted on the side of the road. Overall, we spotted 49 warthogs! It was a long trip--three countries in one day--and we were all relieved when we finally reached our destination.
