Namibia, Booked In We Were Out Again,

into one of the resorts 4 x 4's

for a desert safari, 

and it was a desert!

sand, 

sand, 

and more sand as far as the eye could see, 

we soon, 

started seeing rocky outcrops, 

as we drove up hills and valleys of sand, 

it was quite good fun, 

as we crested a tall dune, and then nose-dived down the other side!

then trees started to appear, 

their roots in a underground water course, 

which of course attracted wildlife,  

which was busy eating, we also spotted a couple of giraffes in the distance, 

I should say it was dry and dusty, and at times very windy, making the dust so much worse,

we made our way past homesteads, 

the villagers I guess, 

working on local farms, 

and of course the game reserves we were staying at,

by now the Sun was getting low in the sky, 

as we all took a few photographs,

the geography of the area was explained to us by our guide for the safari,

and then it was that time, 

for sundowners!

out with the table, 

as I took a group photo, well sort of,

Will taking advantage, 

of the last rays, 

of the Sun, 

and there it is, 

in no time at all, 

food and drinks were set up, 

time to enjoy the moment, 

I continued, 

to keep snapping away, 

who is that with a beer?

Oh me!

the Sun rapidly set, 

as we made our way back to camp, 

into the restaurant, 

our table laid out and waiting for us,

for our evening meal, 

lots of cakes, 

some huge, 

and of course cheeses to finish the meal,

I seem to have photographed this the wrong way round, here a selection of local game meats, 

lots of vegetables, 

and other bits & pieces to choose from,

as well as sliced meats, 

and salad, 

back to the game meats, 

I chose a slice of each, from memory, zebra, kudu, springbok, and three others I have forgotten the name of, (I am not very big on vegetables), after which a dessert before we were all off to bed.
