Trip Across Africa DAY #13
Drove across Namibia and into Botswana across the Kalahari Desert today. Still had bad fuel in our tank and I decided to drive until the car ran out of gas, and change the diesel filter (again, after the mechanic wouldn’t drain the tank for me a couple of days ago). So we sputtered at about 80km per hour to a town where the vehicle conveniently ran out of fuel at the gas station. With the new diesel and filter, it seemed to run good, for a while at least.

Crossed the border fine and hassle-free. About a couple of hours into Botswana, I started losing power again and the vehicle was hesitating and had little horsepower. We think somebody accidentally put some unleaded into the tank, after smelling the fuel in the filter earlier. Am all out of filters now. Will try to figure something out here in Botswana. I’m sure it we will get our Nissan Terrano running strong in the next couple of days.

We are staying at the Crocodile Camp right on the Okavango Delta in Botswana. We arrived at night after the long drive, so we haven’t been able to get a really good view yet. Looking forward to our time in Botswana. Tomorrow, we will just relax near the delta, and spend time with God individually, and together. Catch up more soon.
