Tomorrow morning we depart potch again, on the final half of our trip. We'll be flying to FAKM (Kimberly) to refuel, and then to Wouterspan, a small place next to the Orange River where we can get AVGAS. Next stop will be Prieska (FAPK), where we'll stay on the farm of one of Louw's friends. Next stop will be FAUP (Upington) where we'll refuel both the helicopter and Jerry Can. We'll then do a quick overflight of the Augrabies falls, and then head directly for the southermost tip of the Namibian border, and then from there fly up to Alexander Bay (FAAB), where we'll sleep.
Next morning we'll head for Springbok (FASB), and then Saldanha (FASD) where we'll be joining some really nice people at a Fly-In there. We'll probably head over to Louw's farm in the Piketberg region in the afternoon and sleep there, and then on Sunday go back to Cape Town to complete our adventure!
We'll try to keep you guys posted, but I don't imagine the 3G/GPRS coverage is too good in the remote areas we'll be flying in, so keep your fingers crossed!
Cheers for now!
