Day 145: Tuesday 29 March 2011. Noorotshama Resort,
Aussenkehr, Namibia. S28 23.749 E017 24.643 Distance driven 108
km.
After an early morning "cuppa" we drove back along the closed section of
the D212 towards Rosh Pinar to see the damage to the bridge. The road
follows the Orange River and was another stunning drive with lots of baboons on
the road and the rocks and heron and fish eagles in the river.
The bridge over the Fish River is intact but the approach ramp on the
Aussenkehr side has been washed away. I guess the authorities are just waiting
for the river to subside before repairing it.
Back at camp by noon and a brunch before lazing around the pool for the
afternoon. Unfortunately, this is my last day in Namibia as my visa expires
tomorrow so we must head for South Africa in the morning.
