5 a.m. start, 8 a.m. to find the desert elephants with Keith in his car. We separated should never do that.! I found elephant Footprints in the Sand road and fresh dung. But the road down me kissing this and 3 times. Theven sand was so thick and the middlemannetjie gets you every time. I was a little tired and hot after third pick up and sweating and panting like a dog. Roder back alongside the road in the veld, cause I have nothing left if I had to pick it up again. I tried to find the ellies but turn back and headed for Palmwag and Sesfontein on the main dirt road. There 18 km down the road are 2 bulls, so I drove into the veld of course and parked off and watch them for 30 minutes and I should keep an eye on me. So was all worth it in the end, I guess. They are very scarce so was really lucky once again.
Got to Palmwag, fueld up and headed North and the colours of getting redder and more mountainous Got to Sesfontein and Keith was at none of the camps, so I backtracked 30 km to Khowarib camp but no banana. I ended up at Ongoro community camp ( R70 ) where I am the only one, and am not surprised. I ran out of money and now only had R40 for fuel, cause there was no ARMS here and they only do cash! The camp is 6km off the main road and it amongst the villagers and Himba's Keith has my water, yoghurt milk in his fridge. Was looking forward to my ProNutro and yoghurt for breakfast, but, oh well probably good for my Banting diet. Just hoping for a rustigge sleep. I hear The villagers down on the Hillside, preparing for who knows what? Hopefully not a big black pot to put me in!
