Roughly 62 lbs total. Well below the 80 lb limit. Hopefully that's a good thing, but I guess it could be bad. I've heard there will be plenty of places to buy things in Windhoek.
My next post will be from Namibia. Maybe two or three weeks from now.
Until then....

ReplyDeleteSounds like you are set with everything you will need at the moment!
ReplyDeleteWonder what items they will have there to purchase.
Safe journey's! You're in my thoughts.

Your packing list was like half Yellowstone, half Namibia. Hopefully talk to you soon... FLC needs you, but yeah, you're a little busy.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you. Would you pack differently knowing what you've learned from the experience? I know you haven't used many of those stamps LOL but I guess they are fairly light and don't take up much space. Maybe 1 less deodorant? I know it's hot in Africa but.. and perhaps hiking boots to protect from those nasty thorns.. just kidding.
