Namibia

5th August 2005

Fish River Canyon was so much more stunning than I expected. I hope to put a video clip on the photo highlights page to give you an idea of the scale of it. Ai-Ais hot springs were a bit of a disappointment. We have now left Namibia, it was rather sad to leave, we would have liked to see more of the North of the country but that will have to wait for another time! The lasting impression of Namibia is firstly how incredible dry it is and yet everywhere has reliable regular drinking water (unlike Zambia for example). The second major impression is how the geology shape the flora and fauna and how grand it can be you can almost imagine how the earth was formed from the rocky outcrops whether granite, volcanic or massive synclines and anticlines. Quite awe-inspiring and humbling.
