Is that a scorpion?

After a very bumpy truck ride we were happy to relax for a day in Kasane. We spent a couple of nights camping in what was obviously a popular overlander route - with at least 8 different trucks in the two nights we were there. Including one of absolutely insane people who were travelling for 9 months!!! They were generally older and had been doing a lot of bush camping as they went. The other trucks were younger and only the few older people on them were willing to talk to us. It was nice to talk to some other travellers about where we were going and what we should do there. We are getting used to camping, although the scorpion crawling over the tent (inside the fly, but outside the mesh) was a little disconcerting.

The highlight of our time in Kasane was a wildlife cruise into Choebe national park. We saw hundreds of elephants and a few other animals. The sunset was beautiful and it was a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

Kasane was also noteworthy for it's relatively cheap food... albeit slow. For breakfast one the first morning we asked for some toast (for about $1) and wondered how an earth it took 30 minutes to cook a piece of bread, especially as we were the only people eating! The next day we decided to forgo the breakfast as we were eager to get to Zambia... but that's another entry.
