… and a dream became reality

[nan]

As I light the fire, clouds gather



sliced spareribs I don't know what the butcher was thinking when he did that

The storm wakes me up, it's raining hard, I'm falling asleep again.
In the early morning I noticed the damage ... horror the waterhole is under water, the whole valley is under water and it continues to rain very hard
I told myself that if the rain stopped at about ten o'clock I would try to get out.
Meanwhile I offer to several campers a small corner dry in my "house". The tents are all submerged, the small ones have water up to half their height. All decline my offer ... and yet ...

[nan]

Around 10 o'clock I decide to take the road again, the hostess at the reception that tells me that I will not see anything, I don't want to remain cloistered all day in my beautiful housing, the terrace is impracticable, only the edges are at the shelter of the rain but in any case it rains too strong ... all is wet... wet... wet.

[nan]

A convoy is ready to go with 4 or 5 cars, I let them go ahead ............
The road is impraticable until Craig Lockardt, the entrance to the Dalkeith loop too, I take the road from above.
In the 14th also but it is the road from above that is impracticable, the loop goes more or less well. I find only soggy birds, what do I say... a huge river
What to say about the road

Some storm you had Nan

Sure you must have been thrilled not to be in a tent!

Beautiful to see so much water all around

The beach of Sprinbok look so chilled

[Flutterby]

Amazing when the desert turns into a wetland!!

[Lisbeth]

That's a lot of rain in such a short time. Looks like a dam in Kruger

[Mel]

When it rains that much one MUST go out and admire the river as long as it is there
Great documentation of the Auob flowing, nan

[Richprins]

Good heavens, nana! So that is why those things are called rivers...always wondered!

Ja, campers...no pity for them...

Those meat cuts are quite common, nana...rashers of sorts. Tasty!!

(This desert stuff is quite unique, I must say! )
