Sunset on the Dunes

Back at the house at 5pm Pete said we should all go and watch the sunset. I asked which car we would take and he said “We’d better take Karin, she’s got a winch “.
Off we went back down the sandy tracks, over huge sand dunes that I really didn’t think we would get up and then down the other side sliding most of the way with Karin beeping away. As the ground levelled out and we headed further towards the lake it started to become very marshy but Karin did well. Then from what seemed like nowhere the tracks became incredibly bumpy and really boggy with huge black puddles.
Pete chuckled and said this is why we brought Karin and not the land cruiser. Then he put it into four wheel drive low range and entered the pit.
It was really hilly, Karin was going up and down and side to side but Pete is a brilliant driver and we just ploughed through and out the other side where there was the mother of all sand dunes. Pete accelerated and up we went. It must have been atleast a 25% gradient and then just before we got to the top he stopped, and turned the engine off and said we’re here.
We walked the rest of the way up the sand dune where it was flat on the top and we all sat down and watched a beautiful sunset listening to the wildlife.
We arrived back at the lodge around 6:30pm and then at 7:30pm Pete started cooking us a Lovely dinner of steak with homemade fries and salad. It was delicious.
Then at 9pm it was time for us to call it a day.Baca selengkapnya
