Day 48 - Namib Naukluft : around Groot Tinkas (9/11)

D hears zebra neighing in the night and some snuffly grunting from a bush (warthog?) After a lovely dawn, we make sure that standards are upheld and so it's Sunday fried bfast!

We investigate "Mid Tinkas" (yes, there is such a place, and Klein Tinkas too) and Rock Arch.

Interesting rocks, slate, glittering speckles, shards of granite sheared off and scattered by the road, and granite even forming the road, and evil-looking stone blades jutting out of the hillside 

and road, with piles of collected slate arranged by the roadside.

Visit Bloedkoppe (less of the blood colour in fact) where there are lots more quiver trees

and huge boulders balancing to remind us of The Top of the World in Zim.

Back to Groot Tinkas the last rays of the sun disappear with a pink sunset
