29 April – 2 May
Friday: 114km to Weissenfels
Saturday: 124km to Solitaire
Sunday: 83km to Sesriem
Monday: Rest day at Sesriem
Namibia is just amazing! It is really beautiful to cycle through this amazing scenery.
So far we had loads of rain – which is very abnormal for this “desert”. The red dunes of Sossusvlei are actually green. The dirt roads are a bit trickier to cycle on after the rains.
At Solitaire we had the best apple pie! Solitaire consists of a shop, petrol station, bakery and a few camping spots.
3 – 8 May
Tuesday: 139km to Betta
Wednesday: 153km to Konkiep Lapa
Thursday: 126km to Seeheim
Friday: 94km to Canon Roadhouse (Fish River canyon)
Saturday: 172km to Felix Unite
Sunday: LAST rest day at Senqu (Orange River)
From the Canon Roadhouse I decided to visit the Fish River Canyon, which was not on the TDA route of the day. The sweeper said that he will not support us, but the lunch truck will wait.
It was a detour of about 26km there and back and then the 172km to get to the Felix Unite camp. At about 13:30 a vehicle was sent back to go and see where I was… I was still about 30km from the lunch truck. They did not want to wait for me anymore and I was lazy, so I went on the bakkie for the rest of the day.
The canyon is amazing! I definitely do want to go back and do the five day hiking route.
