Well my oh my, that was BuMpY, but well worth it. The last 80 miles of today's drive would have reminded my 2008 cyclochums of the Missouri rollers. Except that, on roadbikes, we would not have been on it in the first place. The surface was, to put it kindly, gravel. The surface, to put it less kindly, was bleedin' awful. I suppose I should have been alerted to the joys awaiting us by the appearance of the grader, shunting up and back, right as we began to eat lunch by the roadside. Perfect timing.
Today's destination was Epupo Falls. Delightful venue. Gorgeous site with best-ever facilities, wifi (if a tad slow) and a squeaky-clean pool (wonder if Trevor will chance it!).
En-route stop-off today was Opuwo, where it was intriguing to encounter bare-breasted Himba women mingling with the crowds in the local Tescwaitbury's. Tomorrow, a trip has been arranged to see Himba life in one of their villages. Watch this space.
