TUESDAY 29TH - HEADING SOUTH

Today was once again a travelling day but what a day of contrasts. We left behind the cool gloomy coastal desert dunes of Swakopmund and headed into sunny and warm flat featureless desert.

That soon gave way to spectacular desert mountain scenery.

This is a photo of me with the two Trish's, the other being our very capable tour organizer.

After which we returned to the flat country with large rocky mountains always in the distance.

And we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn.

 

We had our usual out of the truck lunch at a delightful little isolated town appropriately called Solitaire in the middle of nowhere.

 

We are now at the Desert Quiver Camp in a very quaint little lodge with all the mod cons. I am told that wifi is available over by the pool so, if you are reading this, it works.

 

Tomorrow morning, we are booked to do a sunrise scenic flight. Apparently the flight is well worth doing so it will be very interesting to see what the area has to offer. The planes just flew over, very low, so it should be fun.

I only included this photo because I think that the rock formation looks like a turtle.
