This is a place called Norotshama on the banks of the mighty Gariep (or Orange river). It's beautiful, there's some sport climbing close by as well apparently. Definitely heading back there !











This is why I call it the mighty Gariep. We drove from Norotshama to Luderitz off the beaten track and this is what happens when there's lots of rain, the road kinda disappears.













The place was so green - there were sprinkles of wildflowers everywhere, like this.











The crew, Daja is the cowgirl and foot masseuse of note, Bruce ("pass us a beer there lovey") is the dude in the white shirt, Sam ("look up/down for a photo while you're hanging onto that piece of rock for dear life please") is the dude in blue and Nicola is the lass in pink (she's a lot tougher than one would think for a girl in pink). Woody and John aren't in this picture. This group was really fantastic to hike with, we laughed every day, through the pink Pro Nutro and the blisters.





Trying to have a bath in Kolmanskop, one of the ghost towns. What would possess anyone to build a house on sand God alone knows but they seem to have coped pretty well until it all fell apart (ha ha).












Love is land - for miles and miles....
