Thursday morning there was no rush, we did what we had to do, and then sat around and enjoyed a nice breakfast before eventually leaving the campsite at about 11am heading for Upington.

We travelled the straight, long, tedious roads of the Northern Cape, stopping occassionally to observe the movements of the social weaver which makes these enormous nests just about on every telephone pole.

The further North we went the more barren it became apart from lush greenery in the distance with the willow trees embracing the banks of the Orange River.

We eventually arrived at Upington and after a short drive around at the municipal park we decided to head for Oranjerus campsite on the banks of the Orange River. We set up camp and enjoyed a nice lamb potjie around the fire.
