Quick Update - Botswana!

Hello from Botswana! What a wonderful place, with incredible sights, people, and experiences again.  We're sorry it's been several days since our last update.  As we enter a new country it seems to take a few days to get internet access again (a mobile internet logistics update is mostly written, and will follow when we get a chance).  All's well here.  After Katima Mulali on the Caprivi Strip in Namibia, we crossed into Bots and stayed for three nights in Kasane, where we had a few driven and boat game tours - incredible, up-close animals - more to follow on that.  We've now driven down to Maun, at the bottom end of the Okavanga Delta, and have arranged for a scenic flight into an overnight camp near the panhandle of the delta (boat access only, no power, etc.), with a return flight to Maun late tomorrow (Friday).  We'll then drive back up from Maun and into Zambia, to stay in Livingstone on Saturday and Sunday nights, see Victoria Falls and do a few more activities.  The plan is then to fly from Livingstone to Cape Town on Monday afternoon, and cross our fingers for a day in Cape Town that we'll be able to fly on Wednesday through Amsterdam and back to Vancouver.  The contingency plan will be to try to get a flight from Cape Town through Atlanta or New York and then on to Vancouver.

Thanks for the comments and e-mails - we're looking forward to seeing everyone again, but enjoying every minute in the interim.  There'll be more to follow of course - photos and a better description of the journey (from Liisa).

Cheers,
WilkinsonSix.
