Day 201 - Mon 19th April, 16995km, Rundu, Namibia

Phew I'm finally back on tar, hopefully that'll be the last bit of dirt road I'll have to cycle this trip! I've also made it to civilisation again and I celebrated Homer Simpson style with a pie, chips and doughnut. My beard has got to such a length now that I have to brush it out after every meal unless I am specifically looking to save some tasty morsals to snack on later! Having made good progress I'm planning to fit in some running over the next few days. I've also just been for only my second pizza since leaving England with local charity worker Daniel who I met outside the supermarket. Sorry to go on about food, but when you are burning a few thousand extra calories a day there is really little else you think about!

Rob, welcome to Namibia and to the relative First World side of Africa. We're not quite sure what your route to Botswana will be but what ever you and Bertha choose the going will certainly be easier i.e. availability of more pies, chips, doughnuts, pizzas and hopefully lots of tarred roads. Timing is looking good for the Comrades and thereafter an English victory at the World Cup! Tottenham have certainly had a wonderful 2 weeks and I'm sure their success will continue to SPUR you on. Keep up the great work. Lots of love, Jen and David

Bro ! well done for getting across the border so swiftly, it is funny about the mix up with you and the celeb cyclist tho I can't imagine she looks much like you with your Scottish Bin Laden disguise. Still at least it is shampooed now! not long to go, keep pedalling! LOL S xxx
