This was one of our big ones. A place we all wanted to see and that we were really looking forward to. Nik and Suz gave us a great heads up on a backpackers joint the Old Bridge Backpackers. The place was class, a quality bar, great advice and help organising things and AMAZING showers. After days of sand on the road a hot shower in the open air was really good. It is a backpackers so it had its moments but it just had a feeling straight away of having a positive atmosphere and being fun. To be fair we also realised that the slow bar service was as much to do with Julia's extra polite waiting technique as the staff's ability to do two things at once. It was on the river too, really cool.
On arrival we were pretty done in and also had some kit holes to fill. A day of not moving much was decided on so got drunk playing ring of fire (mum note: this is a drinking game). slept late but well that night.
Bray's hangover was by far the worst (a bottle of makers mark saw to that) but the blowout was grand. Despite feeling a bit iffy we smashed a day of productivity. Cross and Bray were heroic. Not only did we succeed in purchasing Botswana football shirts (highly important) and the tools we needed. We also discovered electricity in the Rav again with the help of Toyota Maun. Was a random afternoon but fun times.
