Safari - Fish River Canyon
From Dune 45 we drove like a bat out of hell in order to make Fish River Canyon before sunset. We made it with about an hour to spare. We walked along the edge and those of us that
have been to the Grand Canyon made comparisons. Fish River Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world so it was very impressive ( I have since googled that and it is probably not #2 on the list, but its a pretty big
canyon and on the list of largest canyons, even if its not #2). Finally rolled into our campground around 8pm. Because of the lateness of the hour, our guide arranged for us to have dinner at the campground restaurant.
We placed our order and then went back to get our tents set up. It was a nice break. I don’t mind helping cook or clean up but I’m really tired of doing it in the dark way past my bedtime. We eat after 8pm way
too many times on this trip. Part of it is because we’ve had some hard days to make up for time but sometimes they are just long days. Eating after 8pm just has little interest for me and I really want to be in my
tent winding down after dark. So I appreciate having food we don’t have to cook or clean up and can go directly to bed. There were hot springs here as well, so the young people were able to head over there after dinner
or get up extra early to have a swim before we left. Got to sleep in this morning...didn’t leave the campground until 10am.
