SATURDAY 2ND - TRAVELLING SOUTH


 
On the road again today but at least now on bitumen roads. We have dusted off our very dusty ports and hope to be able to keep them clean from here. They have lived in the dusty luggage compartment of The Beast for almost three weeks now.

 
The country we are travelling through continues to be spectacular but very dry. The only moisture we saw today was the Orange River which is the border between Namibia and South Africa. It is a river which apparently flows strongly all year round and supports a vast area of grape growing. The only greenery in an otherwise arid country.

We crossed the border into South Africa and are staying in the nearest thing to a conventional motel we have stayed in since arriving. It is somewhere near Springbok but it seems that we won't be seeing anything of the town.


Since I had no new photos to post today, I thought I might post some of our favourites. You have seen them before.


Happy Father's Day to all you fathers who may read this.
