Good morning!
Today I'm packing up and moving on. I am going to the coast, but not any old coast. I am going to the Skeleton Coast
It's going to be hot today.
Hello, birdie!
Let me have some breakfast.
And just where do you think you're going?
You know how you're supposed to be on the truck or the table, you know that don't you?
Outside temperature
35 degrees.
THIRTY five degrees!
Outside in-habitation;
absolutely ZERO
It is hot
It, uh, this is winter time and it is 35 degrees
I've nearly made it to the coast
I've been driving for about an hour and a half since Spitzkoppe.
In that time I have seen one car and one person
and no buildings, no trees, nothing at all. It has just been flat and hot.
Road condition is not too bad, especially for a big 4x4. 2x4 will probably make it, but carefully and have to take a lot longer.
Wind! Oh my goodness, I stepped outside the car a couple of times to take a photo of absolutely nothing, of the emptiness
Try to take a photo of the emptiness! You will not believe how difficult it is on a big, flat landscape
for a photograph, to show how big
and flat and hot the landscape is
Doesn't do it justice at all, really difficult.
There we go. But yes when I did step out
The wind! Nearly took the door off!
(And did take my cap off)
And now I'm chasing after my cap and there's no way I can go outside, and uh, especially in this heat and do anything, and the wind
no sound on that, but uh.
So, I'm quite excited now; I'm fairly sure I'm close to the coast, I'm within like half an hour of actually being at the coast. I can see the sea from here!
If you look very carefully, and you squint very carefully; on the horizon
That blue, that blue thin blue line on the horizon is the sea
I promise you
We'll get some more footage of it soon
But until then,
just taking a break and a drink, and I'm down
Now hopefully, Hentiesbay and Skeleton Coast
It's 37 degrees outside
37 degrees
And windy. But we're going out, here we go
Lunchtime, and I'm stopping off at, (where are we) Skubbe Pub and Grill, Hentiesbay.
Let's see what we can get for lunch...
*dog barks* Hello boy!
Thank you very much!
Ok, it's that time of day again,
making progression
Time to put up a roof tent, new location; Cape Cross
on Skeleton Coast
And hot in the day, 38 degrees,
and cool to cold at night
Anyway
3 minutes, 20 seconds to beat
Let's go!
Small issue tonight...
Parked a little bit too close
to the roof.
Okay, done.
but what a disaster timing,
Oh my, guys, not even gonna tell you the time
NOT a record! Invalid.
