Start at CAPE TOWN, NAMIBIA...

We were briefly in Botswana to take a look at the Okavango Delta. I'm sure there are tonnes more to see in Bots.

Maun was yet another town where we could stop by to change money, buy supplies, confirm air-tix, whatever.

Bought a phone-card so that I could call Pravina (from J'burg and whom I met on the flight to Cape Town earlier) to make arrangements for my airport pick-up and I wanted to confirm my Zimbabwe Express flight from Vic Falls to J'burg too.

But for the life of me, I couldn't find a public phone that worked. The receiver was detached for this one, there was no receiver for the other one, etc... I had to make my calls from a hotel's phone.

Go ahead and find out how I fell sick... in the Travelogue...

D17: MAUN
