Fish River Canyon

On the jouney to Cape Town we also stopped at FIsh River Canyon. Second biggest after the grad canyon but still bloody impressive. After walking around it for a bit we had a wine and cheese evening watching sunset!

Sand in my boots, sand in my hair, sand up my nose, sand in my sleeping bag....

Because we needed to make it Cape Town in time for NYE we had a couple of days where we had to cover a lot of ground in the desert. It was a really unconfortable jouney, plus 40 heat and very very very dusty. It made for some awesome scenery though and some even better stars. One night I...

Christmas in Namibia

Here are some pictures from Christmas in Namibia. Unfortunately I made the age old mistake of getting too drunk on Christmas Eve. There is no photographic evidence of this night but it involved 2 nightclubs, 2 bars, a drinking session on the beach and far too much white wine. Anyway I...

Lots and lots of desert

We've been driving through deserts for the last week. The Kalahari first and now the Namib. The driving is awful- really really dusty, but the scenery is out of this world. So vast, really arid and beautiful. The camping has been brilliant because you get to see Sunrise and sunset from the...

I Love Cats (Part II)

On the way to the coast we stopped at a campsite called Cheetah Park. The owner has 4 domestic hand reared cheetahs. They also have a little yappy dog. The cheetahs thing they are dogs and the dogs think they're cheetahs.

Etosha National Park.... (who needs Bolivia)
