Notes from a Namibian Winter










Damaraland:

Etosha to the Skeleton Coast.

It has been up to 36 degrees Celsius here in Damaraland.  A stark beauty.  The earth has turned from white to red and from the featureless flatness of Ovamboland to the broken red hills and mountains of Damaraland.

Mostly dirt road from Khorixas.  Didn’t deflate the tyres but should have:  was sliding around a bit.  Will deflate them before the long day on the gravel tomorrow.

Looking forward to the sea after a month of being  inland.  Looking forward to the cool after weeks of mid-thirty degree heat.
