Fish River Canyon

Coffee break

This what the roads looked like sometimes

After many k's on more bad gravel roads, we arrived to Fish River Canyon, only to discover another flat tyre. Fred was not happy so I left him alone, got us checked in to our little cottages. The small cottages were built into the rocks and made the stones and rocks a part of the furniture. We felt like stepping in to the Bat Cave and we gave our cottage that name.

The Lodge

The Bat Cave

We didn't have time to enjoy any activities but instead enjoyed a great dinner, I think it was the best during the whole trip. Since we were in the middle of the Namibian waste land it was pitch black after sunset and we equipped everyone with torches or headlights. The main reason for this was to avoid all the nasty crickets when we strolled back to our cave.

Elle really enjoyed the climbable decor

After a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast in the Bat Cave we left for the canyon. The Fish River canyon is the second largest in the world, after the Grand Canyon. There isn't really much to do there so we didn't stay long and the next destination was Upington South Africa. This was the last stop. On Sunday we were back in Centurion, tired, with loads of laundry but very happy to be home.
