5th

Up before dawn for our long trek back to SA today. Left at six, three hours on sand and we reached the tarmac road at nine. Had a couple of short breaks one being for ice creams. Marianne was craving a Magnum. Reached Serowe at about 1.30 and had a beer at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. Border quite quick, about 30 mins. Found the turn off for Palala Lodge, our nights stop only to realise it was 20 K’s along a gravel road into the bush. Not happy bunnies. Worth it once we arrived at about 5.30. A sanctuary by the Limpopo. Real quality and design, just what was needed after a long day.
Big sort out needed of clothes and all our gear spread around the vehicles. Nice dinner in the restaurant overlooking a well lit lake. Pity it’s only one night.
