Early early morning

Got up really early. 5 am. Breakfast and everything ready at 6. Ready for 11 hours on the bus going north in the Namib desert. Not much to say - but who put all that sand around here? Had a few technical breaks to get some water, fuel for the truck etc. Guide forgot wallet at one stop. Had to go back ½ hour to get it.
Very bad road conditions made the trip somewhat bumpy. Arrived at camp site at 4 in the afternoon. Time to put up tent, get familiar with the place and it turns out the have a pool - in the middle of the desert. So we went for a swim in the sunset. Very nice. A few cold beers, some good food and now on my way to bed. Getting ready for desert walk at 5 in the morning to see the sun rise over dune 45. That's going to be spectacular - I've been told at least.
In other news. Nearly half way through "Dark Star Safari". Africa truly is a rotten continent.
