DAY 4:
Destination: Luderitz
Our morning starts on the edge of the
Fish River Canyon, where we gaze 550
meters into this magnificent geological
phenomenon, the second largest of its kind
on earth. Thereafter we travel down the
Great Escarpment and into the
stretched plains of the Namib Desert,
later giving way to the shifting dunes of
the Prohibited Diamond Area. Here we visit
Diaz’ Cross before doing a
tour through Lüderitz and
checking into our hotel
The Nest Hotel is situated on
the beachfront in Lüderitz. A private beach,
swimming pool, sauna and solarium offer
relaxation while the oyster bar on the
sundeck and the Penguin Restaurant boast
excellent cuisine. |

Suzy
cuddles up on the coach - Carol is relieved that
the Fish River Canyon is only 10 km away.....On
the coach there was time to read, reflect on the
past day's activities, and catch up with
friends. |

The Fish River Canyon in its glory
= what a treat to see early in the morning.
Albeit so very cold - the wind was freezing.
We stopped at Aus for lunch.
What a contrast - a few returned their calamari
and salad (N$65)as they felt it a total rip-off
- value wise. Others who had the Prego roll
(N$55) could have shared this with someone else,
they were so huge! Feast or famine!
Dieter and June decided it was
time to sit on the steps of the hotel and do
some begging - to help us with lunches for the
rest of the trip. |
