Day 43 - Sesriem Canyon to Solitaire (4/11)

We weren't going to get up for sunrise but a bloody bus-load were up and crashing about at 5am. They wake D. Who wakes S. So we decide to go for it and have our breakfast at the dunes after all.

Daybreak is starting - yellow light from the hills behind us, though still some way to the sun appearing over the horizon.  

Dune 45 is already busy with vehicles and climbers on the crest - D decides to go for it too

Having worked up an appetite, it's breakfast at Dune 40 (another great bfast view)

and then into Sesriem canyon - very impressive.

Later, we've picked a nice shady spot to stay at the Solitaire Country Lodge and a meerkat runs by! 

There are also ground squirrels, shy in burrow warrens, as the sun sets.
