Day 44 - the Remhoogte and Spreetshoogte Passes (5/11)

Wow, what a windy night. Cab was rocking back and forth! 

Off onto a gravelly-stone track loop via the lovely Remhoogte Pass. Boulder canyons of dried riverbeds, glinting slate sometimes jutting out of the side of the hill.




Gosh it's quiet though, barely another car.  At a teensy place we pass through called Nauchas, we spy an expanse of water and sign for "free parkering" and camping so we pop in for a look. Lovely but we decide to push on. The road winds up through the Spreetshoogte Pass, on v steep dove-grey bricked road. 
 

Just as it's time to stop for lunch, a picnic sign appears just over the hill-top with a stunning vista view over the plain.
