After a pause of a few years, we decided to do a fly to see the meerkats park kalagadi, Departing from Johannesburg and ending in Cape Town, about ten days only. Fly from Pisa to London Stansted with Ryanair mythical, who has not already flown with this company. Li, we take a bus that will take us up at Heathrow, we took most of the bus ticket to Pisa by Ryanair. Mah! We have a beautiful afternoon, the flight of Virgin Atlantic, considered by me to the second company the most beautiful of all, only seconada the Emirates, with Airbus 340 fly, all night, the flight was ok and landing as well. Here we hired a new pole Wolkswagen so that only 70 km on contakm .. We hope not to blossom, however, as always, we did all insurance .. Puntatina in a little bar of my friend Guido for a greeting and then route to Kuruman, but in Johannesburg, we can not find the SS 14, and we almost lost, is not from me, rarely happens to me, I'm going with you maps, but when I drive I can not watch it, depends on whether my co driver interprets well, many times I go to the nose, or depending on where is the sun, so if I have to go west and it is afternoon, and I follow the sun so on. In the end we find the road, a stop for a game of billiards and then to Kuruman, where a stone sleep after the night passed by plane from sitting. The next morning, rested beautiful, we leave for the north, where the starada after about fifty km from paved road becomes gravel to dirt Askham, where after a while, finally found a gas station where a precaution, we are full and get the messaggini on our cell. given that there is signal and take here. We continue to Kalagadi national park, but first we stop by the Bushmen, which usually sells the place, so I take my usual suitcase full of clothes shoes toys throw in italy, barter and a pair of arcs with arrows and an ostrich egg , I left almost the entire luggage and even a radio that no more .. I used a little more forward visit the Molopo lodge, where Donato to purchase a euro an egg struzzo.A twee rivieren just inside the gate of the Kalahari National Park, We camp for the night, we have taken from 2 materssini of sponge and my usual tent for three seats. The warm and the stars at night make everything magical. After, leave for nossob, safari and do all day, for a short stretch we are also expatriates in Botswana where they built a camp with lots of cabinets and everything, with no fence, so at your own risk, here the lions scorazzano free everywhere. A Mata mata, spend the night in tents, swim in the pool, and then night safari to stay within the fenced area, looking at the puddle of water just to the network, lit by a lighthouse, from there to a little cheetah, is to drink, Donato was in seventh heaven, but I was happy, but I had already cheetahs seen molti.mentre him no. The next day, still safari, we stop for a visit to the Kalahari tend to show a Donato, here we had already slept when I was coming with my brother and my mother. Golden jackals, birds secretaries, Oric, gnu, giraffe, springbok, lions, iene, these are just some of the animals that we visto.Ci free transfer to Upington to sleep and the day after the national park of waterfalls augrabies, with a safari on foot, and bathing in the pool to 35 degrees, Waterfalls, very beautiful in the orange river, hiding on the basis that the diamonds, the Company beears Dee, search far and wide in South Africa in the evening Namibia.Alla stars here are fabulous, since we nell'esmisfero south, we see stars that we in Italy do not see here there are many more. westbound start to Springbok, where we spend the night in a guest house from a nice old woman. The next day, full of petrol and on up to port Nolloth, out of all the tourist trail, then north along the Atlantic Ocean and the Benguela current of very cold, it is populated by seals. For Oranjemund, which is already in Namibia, along the river again until orange Richtersveld National Park, but we do not attract a lot of animals without being very far, so we decide to go back to sleep in Port Nolloth, but before any exchange dress, with old license plates for car collectors, and shoot some photos for ostrich farming. In Namibia and South Africa given the high number of blacks with AIDS, the Government distributes free condoms, and each hotel, we find 4 in the tray comodino.oltre that all'immancabile Bible. Before lacs this city, I buy a wig that makes us spanciare laughing for a while.

In the evening after the full riconsegnamo l ' car and since we use the miles for a higher class on the plane, fly this route in both first class and before boarding the plane stop in the VIP lounge. Donato super happy with this gift that I did. The hostess, just ask us if we want champagne, and now to book massages, incredible. the chair is not a chair but a bed, which is prepared with lots of sheets from the hostess after 2 hours of departure, that delicious.
