| Fish River Canyon, Namibia |
Sunday 17th, Capetown - sitting in a large conference room with 20 new faces, met Kat the trip leader and TJ the truck driver. Lots of Europeans and lots of couples, what have I got myself into!
First stop Gariep river, then onto Fish river canyon the second largest canyon in the world, I don't think the pictures do it justice. We got back to camp and had home made soup and bread that had been baked over the camp fire, amazing food on this trip! Next we went to Sossusvlei Dunes where we climbed dune 45, 170 meters. We got up at 3.45am in time to get there for sunrise. Unfortunately I only made it halfway, felt very wobbly and sick probably the malaria tablets kicking in and was feeling a bit of vertigo. Still amazing views and good photo opportunity's!
We have something like 12000km to cover in 40 days so some long drives, some days we drive for 10 hours, still there has been some amusement on the way, roads have been flooded and we've helped to pull out stuck vehicles, first was a vw polo which was stranded in the middle of a river, who would hire a polo to travel across Africa! Tourists! Later on it was us who was stuck in deep sand but luckily a lorry stopped to help us and 2 broken tow ropes later we were pulled out.
