Canyon Roadhouse
We spend 2 wonderful days and 3 nights at the Canyon Roadhouse, checking up on emails, calling home and sending loads of whatsapp message and downloading many new Netflix series for our young son too. Zev wasnt feeling himself and had his first few coughs after leaving Springbok, but now he was truly ill and

Aus, klein vista
We left the Canyon Roadhouse in good spirits, happy to be back on the road again. Filled to the brim with diesel we left the campsite and heading out onto the gravel road and make good progress. It wasn’t long before we ran into some Italians, that we had previously seen on the campsites, parked

Heading west!
Heading west! From Aus we drove through beautiful flowing hills with small cattle farms left and right of the road. Shortly after leaving Aus we passed the entry to the national park that ‘houses’ the wild horses. There weren’t many people on the road but the ones that were, all seemed to turn off to

Gales!
From Luderitz we headed back the same way we came, back towards Aus and then turning off shortly after Aus, onto our first gravel since crossing the border when we first hit gravel. The morning was a little misty but we had spend some amazing days on the sea with great sunny weather, stuff you

Along the way we stopped

The old bridge
Swakopmund, yet another touristy place for us… What can be said that wasn’t already said before? I enjoyed the drive into Swakopmund I must say, the scenery changed along the road so many times and we also were happy to finally hit some tarmac too :). The scenery driving from Solitaire to Walvisbay was stunning

Pointy end
From Swakupmund it was nice to once again travel on tar for a bit. We left town after getting the usual groceries plus a stop at the ‘good food market’ there too. Stocked up with nice fruit, vegetables and some pieces of cow we headed for Spitzkoppe. We took the main tar road there instead

Ellies
From 5 to 7 September 2022 we stayed at the White Lady Lodge at Brandberg, a famous area to spot desert elephants! Leaving Spitzkoppe meant we had to cross back over the corrugated local road but we made good time and enjoyed the scenery. The roads and gravel tracks were in good order so it
