After lunch Andre and I went for a complementary paddle up the river in some canoes they have available for campers. It was rather pleasant with a number of birds to be seen on the water. We paddled upstream and floated back down 🙂 When we got back to camp I noticed a familiar looking.

After goodbye to Thomas and the Italians we headed off to find the buchery at the Canon road lodge. It was quite a nice place and they had some springbok and gemsbok steaks which we bought (almost 2kgs of meat for N$120). We then carried on with the scenice route past ai-ais on the way.

It was quite a windy night on Sunday which resulted in a cool morning so we slept in till just before 7 🙂 After saying googbye to Giel we went into town again to see if we could draw some money. Everything was offline when we arrived on Sunday (no cellphone signal, no ATM or.

It was up before dawn for some sunrise photos in the Kalahari. After some tea and coffee at the bar we hit the road to Keetmanshoop. Johan the manager was kind enough to give us two bags of ice before we left so the fridge was doing well. When we arrived in Keetmanshoop we stopped.

We had a bit of a sleep-in on Saturday and after breakfast, some repacking of the bakkie and some goodbyes we were on the road to Anib Lodge in the Kalahari. Just before the Lodge we popped in at the Hardap dam to check the view and enjoy a cold beer. The Anib lodge was.

While making a fire to braai some meat at The Cardboard Box we met some UK girls who had been in Namibia for 2 days. Michelle is a vegetarian so we debated about what she would be able to eat that was not meat in Namibia. Andre then suggested that he cook her a sweet.

After an early start and a glorious sunrise in Spitzkoppe on Friday it was off to Windhoek. As we were packing up one of the locals came by in a donkey cart. Andre asked him if he could take it for a spin, he said sure. I asked if his insurance was paid up. After.

We packed up early this morning and headed off to the see the Welwischias. Part of the drive there takes you through the moon landscape which is probably where the Americans filmed their first landing by Neil Armstrong :p The permit we aquired highlighted points of interest which were mostly plant life and lookout points..

This morning we went to Dune 7 for a bit of sandboarding. We met Wayne from Dune 7 Sandboarding (this is stand up sandboarding using a snowboard). While we were waiting two girls from Bloemfontein arrived and it turned out they were part of our group. Wayne took us through the basics and sorted us.

Yesterday we walked around Swakopmund and visited a few of the sites. A quick visit to the information point set us off to get the permit required for the Welwitschia drive which we decided to do on Thursday morning on the way to our next stop, which at the moment is looking like Spitzkoppe on.
