An uneventful day of driving to Kimberly where we are staying at the old jail house which has been converted into a hostel. A self-guided tour of the diamond mine in Kimberly was interesting. No great photos to share. We are getting better at driving on the left side of the road but don’t yet have the blinker signaling down – we have very clean windows though! It seems 95% of the vehicles here are white – ours included. The 8 passenger van we bought has been good to us so far. The sunroof came in handy when we were viewing animals on safari. The roads are narrow here and lots of people walk along the side of the road hitchhiking. It is not uncommon to see pickups (they call them bakkies) with 10 people standing in the back or vans stuffed with as many people as can fit.

We noticed the same thing regarding our extremely clean windows due to the turn signal being on the opposite side of the steering wheel while driving in Australia and that our rental cars were primarily white. Seemed especially strange on Kangaroo Island where there was lots of huge puddles/craters and the Red Center with all the red rock dust that they would rent so many white cars.
