A quick pitstop at Sesriem Canyon

After we had finished our second breakfast /lunch we decided to head over to the Sesriem Canyon which I had read about as being an impressive canyon.

First, I was really not impressed by the road quality leading to the canyon. Badly maintained gravel road all the way, in desperate need of some grading. When we arrived there, the thing that stuck out was a warning for thieving baboons, and a plea to please close all windows and lock the car properly.

The canyon was cool, but nowhere near as impressive as we had hoped for. Anne went clambering down almost to the bottom of it, while I was still resting from the morning dune workout and passed on that new exercise.

We spent a few minutes here, and then went to exit the park. Unfortunately we learned upon exiting the park that they only accept cash payments for park fees, so we had to withdraw cash first. The first ATM we hit was not working, but fortunately there was another one in a nearby lodge.

Once that was settled, we headed northward toward our destination for the night.Read more
