It was unforgettable, best snorkelling of my life!

Beautiful scenery and a superbly put together film. My only time at the canyon was in August 1984, where we stayed at Ai-Ais Springs. In those days, Namibia was called South West Africa and there was no border post when entering from South Africa either by air or by road. If you get any rain on your travels, you might see a range of Palearctic migrant birds on the telegraph wires as you head north in Namibia. I can recommend that you try a tafel beer! Drive safely on those dirt roads.

Far too fast Denise!! We can’t quite believe it. Such a special time of life, we’re loving every moment. Thanks for being here friend 😊 ☀️

Goodness... the drive thru Namibia looks like the drive thru Kansas (USA)... so much flatness. There's a city on the eastern border and one on the western border, not much in between. Very straight roads, there was corn on one side of the road and soybeans on the other. We'd get excited if we saw some cows because they were something taller than soybeans. Eventually we saw the Rockie Mountains in the distance, they looked like bumps. The closer you got, the bigger they got. Beautiful, here the Grand Canyon is spectacular... the multiple layers of colorful rocks. As usual, it's fun to follow along. If someone tried to solicit a bribe at the Canadian border, you could record the badge number and turn the person in. Aggravating, but if that is the only bump in your travels, you will have been blessed. Crusoe is growing so fast, he is a very happy boy.
