Day 1 - The Barn Church to A New Earth Guest Lodge, Francistown, Botswana

Having packed the trailer the night before, we met at the Barn Church at 5:15 to leave at 5:30. Thirteen of us jumped into the Quantum to start a journey that would benefit and affect both the community we would engage with and each one us individually.

Nick (aka "Captain")
Bryce
Elizabeth (aka "Bear")
Leigh
Amy
Adrian
Kirstin
Dom

We stopped for coffee and a toilet break at the Engen 1 Stop Kranskop near Bela Bela at 7h25.

We continued from there to Seringa Cafe, Vaalwater arriving at 8h50 for breakfast. It also happened to be Leigh's birthday and a surprise birthday party had been arranged at Seringa Cafe with cake, balloons and all.

Once bellies were fed and the Quantum filled up, we pressed on to the Martins Drift Border Post, arriving at 13h30.

Once over the border, the Quantum was refilled and a bunch of snacks purchased to sustain us to Francis Town. We finally arrived at the New Earth Guest house, Francistown at around 17h30, 12 hours after leaving the church.

We had a debrief, devotion, prayer, shower and then it was off to Spur for more birthday celebrations, supper and Spur line dancing!

Finally into bed after a loooooooooong day.
