Breakfast at the lodge and hit the road at 7:30am. We had to alter our planned route to Windhoek due to washed out roads following yesterdays storm.

The explosion of Bushmans Grass, the greening of shrubs and array of flowers hadn’t been seen for close to 5 yrs.

We arrived at Windhoek airport 5 1/2hrs later just in time for another impressive thunderstorm. It was raining so hard they were escorting passengers 2 at time out to the airplane  with umbrellas. We flew at 35,000 ft  to Johannesburg but the pilot still had to navigate around thunderheads that towered thousands of feet above us.
