Day 14 Fish Canyon

We are on our way from Luderitz to Fish River Canyon. Another spectacular drive.
On the way we pulled into a coffee stop and found more old vehicles - this time though they were all used on the owners farm for the last few generations

Fish river Canyon is the largest in Africa and an important tourist attraction - it’s 100 miles long and up to 15miles wide and 500 metres deep in some places

Just after taking this picture I thought it would be a good idea to climb up a loose pile of rocks and get a panoramic pic. Not such a good idea when the rocks started to slide I went headfirst backwards with them. Just a little blood and the backside ripped out of my shorts. It amused the German tourists so I was happy they found everything satisfactory.

We had to stop for fuel enroute - a small lodge with some petrol in a barrel and two chaps to get it from the barrel into my tank! Only took half an hour!

We stayed at the Namibian Wildlfe Park camp one of 3 we’ve stayed in - each one is pretty quirky- in this one we were the only ones having dinner - a disappointing affair for me - a T bone steak that must have come from some road kill I think. Coral fared better with her veg dish. No red wine in stock and no gin either - calamity!
They pulled out all the stops for breakfast as well - lukewarm bacon and eggs and a four slice toaster that burnt one to a crisp the second was ok third only toasted on one side and the fourth nothing at all!  Needs a manufacturers recall I think.
