Buying our Bakkie







We have bought our bakkie (that's what the locals call their 4 x 4's), next thing is to turn the 'house' into a 'home' so we are looking at rooftop tents, fridges, chairs, tables etc and the boring bits like winches, re-inforced suspension, 'all terrain' tyres, water tank and many other things.  We have also  booked ourselves onto a 'Learning to drive your 4 x 4' course this Saturday, should be fun!

Camping shops over here are on a different scale to the UK as you can imagine, no such things as 'wellies with heels' Mel! We had lots of fun buying the car, at one dealership they offered us a huge discount on the basis that they thought we were missionaries travelling through Africa! We did come clean though.
