Aus

The drive to Aus included some limited pavement, a luxury, but also more of the same...

Again, we got an early start (you do this a lot in Africa, partly to get to the
watering hole, partly to avoid the mid-day heat, partly to get the best light,
and partly because after getting to Aus you want to drive on to Luderitz,
on the sea)

Duwisib Castle: a sad, sad story of a German baron and his
American wife, who never lived there; we skipped it

The roads approached, skirted, climbed monstrous escarpments
all day

Pano

Much interesting geology

At the coffee shop in Helmeringhausen

The desert beginning to moderate a bit

Still plenty of croppies around

And now also some curiously polished domes

Not many critters

Finally we reach the campground, Klein-Aus Vista, aka "Eagles Nest"

We had another braai that evening, not directly under this giant nest/colony; the
little birds, sparrows or swallows or whatever, nest in colonies here

Artsy moon shot

Our encampment there, next morning
