Refreshed by our two days stop, it was back in the truck at a civilised 8:30 am and heading towards the Etosha game reserve.

Along the way we visited Spitskop, a mountain that looks like a scaled down version of the Matterhorn and a desert walk that included "bushman" cave drawings. We stayed a night with the Himba tribe, a nomadic group that are dying out because the young people are leaving for the city, aspiring to a western lifestyle and their centuries old way of life is disappearing……. We had a few drinks with the team to mourn the passing into history of a lifestyle and culture.

An early start for our two days in Etosha, which should be one of the game watching highlights of trip …… Full day driving and searching but no significant sightings - Disappointing!

The Twomey's consoled themselves in the evening by taking two bottles of wine to the waterhole and watched 3 Rhinos having a drink …… The Rhinos finished about the same time as our second bottle emptied and two tired Twomey's went to bed with a happy smile(slightly drunk)

Second day in Etosha was also disappointing, none of the Big Five showed up but some Zebra, Giraffe and Impala were about…… Long day but we finished up in very good accommodation, had a nice meal and wiped out a bottle of lime vodka with the Danish Lads.
