We drove 105km down to Twyfelfontein doing about 30km in the dry Huab riverbed, seeking more elephant's but only finding their dung. It is so much fun driving in the riverbed, with it's thick sand, apparently I was the only one that thought so ! We got a campsite right on the banks of the Huab rI've and then went to the Twyfelfontein Lodge where we drank beer and enjoyed the vistas and rock engravings. We ended up having dinner, crocodile and gemsbok, was a feast.
I had stayed at the campsite on my way up on my bike with the KTM guy who ditched me there, so it brought back good and bad memories cause I had dropped my bike like four times in the sand looking for damn elephants. Then the KTM guy takes off with all my food.
The following day we drove down to Spitzkoppe, and told the ladies we needed to look one last time for the elephants which gave me my last chance to drive down the riverbed again cause it's what you got to do , still no trace of them , but I tried. Spitzkoppe was only three hours away so we stopped in at the Tea Garden in Uis where we had a delightful brunch and arrived in Spitzkoppe at 2pm and then did a a guided tour with Francis ,who slept the whole time in the car much to our amusement, no we did not tip him. Spitzkoppe is unbelievable sight solid rock rising out of the ground , apparently not everyone thought it was unbelievable, Google it and you will see how amazing it is. We stayed there at an incredible campsite between some ginormous rock mountains and of course we all had stomach issues and it only had a 'longdrop' which was very poorly designed and frequently visited, it never fails !
