SWA now Namibia
We crossed the Namib Desert in a Mercedes(without air-conditioning) and lost hub caps and the undercarriage was sandblasted. It was a truly amazing journey.
We saw a few animals including gemsbok, springbok, not to mention a cheetah.
It was really parched at the time as there had been a long drought.
We spent New Year's Eve 1980 at the Hardap Dam where we were entertained by some other guests singing the Afrikaans song 'Sarie Marais', an unforgettable experience.
Top right is my Mum looking out over the Fish River Canyon, which is also the backdrop.
Photos converted from 1980 slides.
Sunday challenge... Impact/event
For this week's challenge: something, someone or an event that impacted your life in some way.
I will comment in the group later in the week. I have acquired a ghastly virus, feeling dire :-)

This rock formation collapsed in 1988. The Finger of God was quite a detour from our trip across the Namib desert in 1980, but it was worth it.
Located near Asab in South-West Africa, now Namibia.
