I am visiting the Kalahari Desert in Botswana and parts of Namibia for my last location. The capital of the Botswana is Gaborone and the capital of Namibia is Windhoek. Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa border Botswana and Namibia. No body's of water border the Kalahari Desert and the GPS coordinates of the Kalahari Desert are 23˚00'00.00" S 23˚00'00.00" E. The Kalahari has vast areas covered by red sand without any permanent surface water. Temperatures can range from 68˚ to 118˚. There are many game reserves in the Kalahari. Bushman have lived in the Kalahari fir over 20,00 years. The Kalahari Desert is 5377 miles from the Atacama Desert. I got to the Kalahari Desert from the Atacama by boat and then a truck. It cost around 3,000 dollars for everything. It was very fun to go for a trip around the world I have never experienced anything like it before. I learned that it is nice to go on a trip by yourself sometimes instead of with others. My mom and dad are so happy to see me but are also mad that I am back to annoy them.

I am visiting the Atacama Desert in Chile. The capital of Chile is Santiago and the countries that border Chile are Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. The Pacific Ocean borders Chile. 35˚40'30.50" S 71˚32'34.72" are the GPS coordinates of the Atacama Desert. It is very rocky, flat and 50 times drier than the California's Death Valley in the Atacama Desert. The desert is 20 million years old. It is the driest desert in the world. The Atacama Desert is 11088 miles from the Gobi Desert. I got to my fifth location by plane and then car. It cost around 6,000 for everything to get to the Atacama Desert from the Gobi Desert. I had some problems when going to the desert from the airport in Chile because we got the truck stuck a couple of times. The Atacama Desert is so much drier from the Gobi Desert it is not even funny!!
