Wi-i-i-ndy overnight again! And we wake up to overcast - not what we signed up for!
We're headed deeper into the Namib Naukluft
and, remembering how remote things were the last time we were here, expect four days without too many people. The first night's destination will be Homeb, reached via wide plains with the occasional running ostrich, along humpy rollercoaster roads through fields with diagonal pancake rocks and grey stone dome hills.
The campsite at Homeb itself has a quite bizarre landscape of black rocks, putting me in mind of an explosion scene from a disaster movie, pancake rocks protruding from the earth, sand with pale green tufty grass or stretching out as though an estuary.
We've chosen a quiet site next to sheltering trees (with scarily big roots).
There's a small settlement very close by and the locals run their cows past at dawn and dusk (explains poo and the occasional disconcerting mooing from nearby trees!) Spots of rain and a distant rainbow followed by an orange sunset.
