Into the desert


Sunset at Orange River, South Africa


Rafting in the orange river...was more relaxing than hectic!


The fish river canyon...second largest in the world behind the grand canyon. Very beautiful at sunrise

So I have made it across the border in Namibia, without problems. It is very beautiful here so far. The Namib desert is spectacular. It takes up most of the coast line along Namibia and is just vast sand dunes and mountains. There are very paved roads here...rather they are made of sand and dust....doesnt make for the funnest bus rides! In Swakopmond now and doing some dune quad biking and sand boarding tommarow than we continue to the north...Etosha National Park, one of the best game viewing parks in Africa!!
