Namibia

Namibia is a very pleasant country, with canyons, deserts, bars, balloons, quadbikes, and wildlife…

  

The scenery in Namibia is dramatic: the Fish River Canyon (larger than the Grand Canyon); a view from a hill along the side of the road that we climbed

   

At our first campsite there was a nice bar —- where Jo learned how to drink a “springbokkie”

   

Toilets on the road (sorry Rob, it happened to be you…); my first cooking duty

Remember the comment in my email about sand in Namibia? This is on the road to Luderitz

 

I took a hot-air balloon flight over the desert, followed by a champagne breakfast in the middle of nowhere…

Isn’t this what a desert is supposed to look like? This is the Namib Desert, near Swakopmund

It was in the Namib Desert that we went “quad-biking”

You wouldn’t have expected it, but there are seals in Namibia, at Cape Cross

In Etosha National Park, the elephants came up to the watering hole at the campsite to drink
