The last 2 days of the trip were driving days.  We left Maun, headed west to Nata and then south to cross the Botswana-South Africa border.
On our last night, staying somewhere in northern South Africa, we had a massive storm with lightening, thunder and heavy rain as well as a massive dust storm.  Our tents almost got blown away and we had to run out (from the bar!) to save them and then weigh them down with our luggage or ourselves.  Everything was filthy in the morning, but quite an experience.  Also the power went out, so we were playing pool by lantern-light.  Enjoyed a few Botswana beers (?St Louis).
Arrived in Benoni mid-afternoon Sat 2nd Dec and was picked up by Hazel and Roger.  Had a fantastic dinner out at Caesar's Palace with the gang and H&R.
