As we leave the arid land of Etosha we gradually climb into the hills and notice that the landscape is becoming greener with flowers on the verges and then the occasional field. The tyre pressures go back up to normal as we are now driving on normal roads - for the moment.
One of the uncertainties of a trip like this is that you never can be sure what the next camp site is going to be like. At Okaukuego in Etosha we had access to a pool and rather nice restaurant like this.
But there were far more ‘budget’ travellers who were on the campsite and had accommodation like this: well, actually this was their coach and their tents were stowed in the lower lockers. They had to pitch them before they went off to get some drinks and some ice!
We have to mention a German coach with a similar sized trailer which was its ‘camp restaurant’ for the travellers; perhaps based on the experience of a previous generation?
We moved on to Roy’s Camp, a rest camp which was established by a farmer who needed to find a project to keep his son busy. The result was this amenity in the middle of nowhere. There is scrap metal everywhere:
But used very decoratively.
It contains all sorts of contrasts
And provided the first opportunity in about 5 days to get this blog back online.
Quaint – but it worked – and the food and drink were good too.
