Danie on his knees but made it to the top.

As promised last time here are a few Witsand photos or as it is also known 'roaring sands of the Kalahari'. The roar coming from the sand at certain temperatures and wind conditions.
Danie being a bit heavily built suffered a bit but with the help of his wife Antoinette made it to the top. Got rid of his shoes halfway up. The view from above and on top of the dune is spectacular and worth the climb. The road from Groblersdal side was not that good but with caution we did alright. On our way back Danie wanted Fish and chips and we stopped at a cafe in Groblersdal advertising freshly made chips. When they say 'freshly made' it was fresh as they peel the potatoes in front of you cut the chips and then fried, more fresh than that you will not get. The treatment Jannette received in the Mediclinic in Upington was 5 star and the nursing staff actually cried on the day that she was discharged as she was there for 10 days. On the day that we traveled back it was a continuous drive of 15 hours as there was about 6 stop and go areas where they were working on the roads.
Will eventually post some photos of game in the Kgalagadi transfrontier park next time around.
