Namibia And South Africa

Dawn At The Sossusvlei

I had to get up at 04:30 then drive to and climb Dune 45 to get this view. But I think you will agree it was worth it!

Sossuvlei Dunes

Just after the sun had risen, this was the view down the valley.

All the time the sun was rising the colours in the dunes changed.

Dead Vlei, Sossuvlei

A snap shot of the past, as these trees have been carbon dated to 900BC. They have survived simply because there is no bugs or moisture to rot them.

Me At The Dead Vlei

These trees are certainly dead but not small.

Fish River Canyon

This is the view of the north eastern end, where the canyon is some 500m deep.

The shapes and colours in the surrounding cliffs made it an impressive view.

Campsite Along The Orange River

Before crossing over into South Africa I spent one last night in Namibia at the border, by the Orange River.

Table Mountain

This is the view of the mountain from the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront complex.

12 Apostles From Table Mountain

We had great views all round from the mountain top.

Me At Cape Of Good Hope

Half way! So just the little drive back to do then...
