"You Don't Trust My Friends? What If I Was Invisible?!"

Crossing into Namibia, at the border post Nick decided to sort out customs while we presented the lady with his passport... FAIL!! She wouldn't stamp his passport without him being there. So we called Nick back. He asked, "Don't you trust my friends? What if I was invisible?!" to which she could only reply with a blank stare. After getting lost in the Windhoek suburb of Soweto, which is pretty much the same as the Soweto back home, we made our way towards Etosha.

We got our first puncture leaving Windhoek and when we stopped to change it, we met up with another team, Sad Sack, who we convoyed with to the checkpoint.

Being the chaps that we are, we decided to dress up a little to make an entrance at checkpoint 1. However, we were a little late.. Needless to say, arriving at the Bob's For Good shoe drop at the local primary school dressed in balaclavas and a Speedo may have scared a few of the little buggers! But we did something good and that made it all worthwhile.. A couple of fines were had later and we took some prizes including "Slowpoke" and "Chariot of Fire" (the ThunderHorse is a big hit!). The chaps also soon realised that this rally is no mess around - these guys can party (fire-guitar and fire-walking were some of the activities)!! The challenge was definitely made and accepted.
