Living in a foreign country means we discover lots of new and interesting products at the store. There’s never a dull moment when we go shopping. Check out some of the things we found at the local supermarket today. Don’t worry, there’s plenty more where this came from… Hair feeling tired? Try Caffeine Shampoo! Every…

I know you have at least heard of Lawrence of Arabia. We spent a few days in Swakopmund, a coastal town I would describe as “Lawrence of Arabia meets Bavaria.” The stark desert runs right up to the icy Atlantic ocean, with Swakopmund right in the middle. One evening we set out on a mini adventure. Turning…

We arrived in Namibia in the pitch black of night, after driving through the South African border. The B1 “highway” is a narrow, two-lane strip of pavement that extends the entire length of Namibia. At night, it is absolutely, 100% dark. The only other lights to be seen for hundreds of kilometers, are those of massive semi-trucks…

We are gearing up to hit the road this morning….bound for Namibia! The drive from Cape Town to Windhoek is about 17 hours, and we are doing it in two days. What have we been doing in the last two weeks? Well, we drove nearly the entire Garden Route and back. The Garden Route was…
