.....not only because of the water. Interesting constructions. The church of Bethanie. Landscape like in the wild west.

Except that the towns have German names. Road maintenance ahead. This is how it looks like on gravel roads. Duwisib Castle. Built 1909 by an excentric German businessman for his wife in the middle of nowhere.

Now downgraded to sand road. The countryside is ever-changing. Weaver bird nest. They are on every pole.

Detailed view. The male has to build the nest. When completed the female inspects it. If she doesn't like it, the male has to destroy it and build it again. When we approach, all birds instantly take flight. Another detailed view.

Weaver birds are just everywhere..... .....down in the south. We arrive at Hammerstein Lodge & Camp on time for braai.
