Aba Huab

After Brandberg we continued inland to Aba Huab, a small spot by a dry riverbed in Damaraland. We stopped at a 'living Museum' run by the local Damara community, and went hunting fossils...

Some of the drives were very long... Big brothers make great cushions.

The Damara living museum was great, here Conor is learning how to make ostrich eggshell necklaces...

...the visit ended with a dance...

...and lots of singing...

... Christine, our guide...

The camp was nice and shady, perfect for hammocks

The gang at the petrified forest. The fossilised tree we're standing on is about 260,000,000 years old...

These Welwitschia are the oldest known plants in the world, some are over 6,000 years old. This is a comparatively young 2,500 years old, Conor seems to think this is pretty impressive, though Cillian is less sure!

The two boys posing outrageously...

We decided that swimming might not be on the cards after about 0.00002 seconds in the pool.... Bit chilly...
