Before leaving Etosha, we visited the museum at the Nomutoni camp site. While most of the lights were not working, we managed to read most of the information to get an idea of the interesting history.
During a stay in Swakopmund, we met a Canadian, Jim, who was travelling around Namibia on his own. He recommended that we stop over at Roy’s Camp near Grootfontein along the B8 highway, and that is where we are sitting typing up the blog. On our way, we passed a sign that said “Boabab Tree”. We debated for a few minutes as to whether this was the name of a place nearby or a real tree. We turned around to go and investigate and discovered that it was in fact, a Baobab tree which has been declared a national monument. There was a walk of 700 metres which Lynne declined, and Philip rushed off to document with his camera.
On arrival at Roy’s Camp, we setup camp and headed for the comfortable lapa near the pool to get wi-fi connectivity, update our diary and have some drinks. The place is very rustic and relaxing. After about 2 hours, it started raining and steadily rained harder and harder.
When we arrived, it was nice and warm and we both changed into our costumes for a quick dip, however, the rain cooled everything down very quickly and we were both getting cold so we headed back to our camp, made a nice hot cup of tea and sat in the kitchen area dunking a rusk or two. It rained for the rest of the afternoon.
We ate dinner at Roy’s restaurant which consisted of Boere Kos (Translation: traditional Afrikaans farmers food).
