Back to Home!

After 342 days, I finally came back Hong Kong in one piece. I have been dreaming of coming back, where I can find familiar faces, tasty Chinese food and Cantonese.

And, I really want to thank everybody who have hosted me in their places. They really make me feel different in my long journey.

Also, thanks for all those reader who read my blog. Your support keep my energy updating this blog.


在返港的航機上，在我的坐位前，放著合味道杯麵。

多少個夜闌人靜的晚上，我在幻想，在期待，期待著用筷子把這熟悉的味道放在口中的一刻，期待回到我出生的土地。

朋友，我期待著跟你們見面。但，在我們相聚的時間，請先不要問我到過甚麼地方。請告訴我，我錯失了多少重要的時刻。因為，你興高采烈的時候，我未能替你高興；你哀傷的時間，我未能在你身旁分憂。

My friend, Ian, who I met in canoe trip in Zambezi River, hosted me in his big house in Johannesburg!

I stayed in Johannesburg for one night only and I am going to take my flight back to Hong Kong.

Happy Mid-Autumn Fest!

Victoria Falls

This is the end of my overland truck tour. Three weeks have been spent on the truck where laughing never end. Really enojoy every moment and I do miss everyone!

Victoria Falls, at the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, spans 1.7km and drop over 100m cliff. However, the water level is low during this season. So, it is not so spectacular.

I did one of the best adventure activities, rafting the Zambezi rapids in the Victoria Falls which is very exciting!

P.S. I had also do Bungi jumping from the Victoria Falls Bridge which is just between the border.

Chobe National Park

Chobe National Park is on the bank of Chobe river and its has Botswana's most varied wildlife. Both the game drive and the boat cruise were very good and I saw many many elephants.

Okavango Delta

The Okavango River rises in central Angola and flows southward to Namibia, then the river begin to spread over the delta. Eventually, the water is lost in 15,000 sq. km of lagoons, channels and islands. It never reach the sea.

I went for an overnight mokoro trip (wooden made canoe) which the polar using a long stick to move the mokoro.

We stayed in one of the islands and we saw water lily, dragonfly, birds, hipos, elephants and Zebra.

Rundu

n the morning, we visit the local primary school and the church. Lots of photos of the kids, have to send them back!

Relax on the river band, then go horse riding in the afternoon.

Etosha National Park

The game drive here is not particularly exciting. But, Etosha is very dry so the animals always go to the waterholes for water. So, just wait near the waterholes and you will see different animals.

During the night, I saw rhinoceros!

I just added the vidoe of the elephant!

Himba Tribes

We visited Humba Tribes, where people paint red dye all over their body. They have leather thing on women's head and you can tell their family by their hair style.

Spitzkoppe

Huge Rock standing in the middle of nowhere. It is tough to climb up to the boulder, but quite a nice view.

This night, we slept outside with no tent, watching the star.

Swakopmund

This is where you can find the desert next to the ocean. I went to quadbiking and it was fun and exciting.

I normally do not play those speed stuff but it was great!

And we have dinner with game meat, with Kudu steak, Ostrich and oyster.

Sossusvlei Dunes

Sossusvlei Dunes, originally uploaded by Tak from HK.

My camping overland tour started in Cape Town, our truck drove north to Namibia. On Day 4, we reached the Sossusvlei Dunes, beautiful sand dunes in orange color.

In the early morning of the next day, we hike up Dune 45 to view sunrise. Then, we went for desert walk to Deadvlei. An area inside the desert that used to have water in it. But, it sealed by sand dune later and the trees were dead for over nine hundreds years.

Cape of Good Hope

It sounds not right that you miss Cape of Good Hope when you visited Cape Town. But, the weather is terrible and I hardly saw anything at the lighthouse.

The AFrican Penguin is different from the other I saw before. Still cutie!

Tomorrow, I will start my 20 day overland tour to Victoria Falls via Namibia and Botswana. This is my last journey. And...... my return flight to Hong Kong has been confirmed.
