Day 20 (the finish): Sossusvlei / Sesriem Canyon

After wandering into the dunes we had brunch at Sossusvlei itself - very civilised indeed! Returned to Little Kulala for lunch and then drove to Solitaire to get petrol. Nearby we visited the Sesriem Canyon, which I had been to whilst at school in  1977 . Ah memories!

Even the sparrows joined us for a drink from the handbasin .... Jeeves!

Gnarled tree trunk - looks a bit like driftwood.

The sun sets - very peaceful - apart from the screaming geckos!
