Preparing for the Kalihari Desert crossing

We've been preparing for crossing the Kalihari desert. We are taking the trans-Kalihari highway in our little red Golf. I hope she is up to the challenge.

We are taking 20 litres of water each. I think it is overkill, but I would rather have too much than too little. We are also going to be taking spare fuel with us and we have bought two cool boxes to pack with ice.

The desert crossing we will do is about 600km, about the limit of our petrol tank. Should be fun. Hopefully everything goes well.
