Day 7: Namib Naukluft National Park: the most awesome campsite on Thanksgiving Day
Today is Thanksgiving Day. The day Americans celebrate when the indigenous people welcomes refugees (the pilgrims). The irony of the rhetoric going on now in America against immigrants, due to fear they will take over and wipe the population out....when that what was the pilgrims did to the Indians.
We drive around the Namib Naukluft Park watching the landscape change, we cross the Tropic of Capricorn then circle back and end up camping at Mirabeb Campsite. This is like a miniature Ayer's Rock in Australia. A big red rock in the middle of a plain. Other than zebras and kudu, we are alone.
Our thanksgiving dinner is salmon and pear salad, while watching the sun set and the full moon rise.
Total distance: 30 kms tar road, 100 kms gravel road
