We were in the desert .. NAMIB desert

Post by Kagiso II »

We left two days later than planned [because of workshops not keeping promises .. ] and a few things had to done on Tsesseb before we could take the trip.

Starting with our first night stopver in Upington. Dwergie insisted on "creature comforts" thus we stayed over in the Casino .. nogal. Stunning room, great food en very reasonable prices.
So I went to visit them one arm bandits -- and won more than what the room & dinner cost us :-) :woo:

Next day we hit for Ais Ais
Some picts of the roads Upington - Karasburg - Ais-Ais
