After an early morning walk with Trent and Marieka, and a lot of warnings about the border control, we set off for our first border crossing into Namibia. We were all a little nervous but seemed to get through extremely quickly and unscathed.
We then entered the Namibian Desert towards our campsite near Fish River Canyon. Only a couple of hours driving today and we had arrived. Our campsite was ... in the desert, but did have a few rocky hills breaking up the landscape. It was quite picturesque. Brii climbed one of these small hills with Marieka and then met up with the boys for a beer in what would have to be one of the coolest pubs in Namibia. This pub reminded us very much of the pubs in outback Australia. It had lots of character especially with its collection of vintage cars.
We then travelled to the Canyon for sunset. Fish River Canyon is apparently the second largest canyon in the world. The canyon was quite spectacular and the sunset was lovely except unfortunately we left as soon as the sun had gone and as we were driving out the sky changed to some amazing colours....oh well hopefully there will be plenty more!
