The little town of Ghanzi

Howzit everyone ... just pulled into the little town ... god-forsaken outpost ... of Ghanzi, in Botswana.

Yes ... i'm here real early ... got a little bug ... just like half the cyclists on tour at the moment. Sore throat, snotty, headache, etc ... but need the rest before tomorrows marathon stage of 208km!!! The longest on the trip!!

Otherwise we are all well. Boredom has set in with many people. Less than three weeks to go ... yeehaa or aagghh?!

the roads are still flat, flat, flat. As Al pointed out in the comments ... a fair amount of donkeys - and horses - along the road ... seemingly wild? But nothing like further north in Africa. Only sighted one local cyclist on the road for the whole of Botswana.

Oh well, that is all for now. I'll update later re our arrival in Cape Town ... time that is ... but am expecting around 12h30 on Saturday 12 May 2007 ...

lotsa love
Patrick
