We are heading downstream but Ben wants to do a bit of exploring along the way. We need to leave the river and head north, but there is no clear track on our maps. We need to cross an open expanse. But we will have to head back down the way we came then follow the river downstream a bit further before turning north. It's almost 5 o'clock. We've been driving for hours across the upper plains then came down a tributary and then reached a road going north. But as you can see the road has problems. This is C35, the main highway north in the Skeleton Coast National Park. Here sand dunes move with the winds and ignore the road boundaries. At the Hoanib we exit the highway and enter the riverbed heading upstream. We then camped in the dunes of the Skeleton Coast NP. The Next Day Ben is loading up the car. We are the only customers of the Skeleton Coast NP today. A dead battery. So he’s been charging our batteries and GPS last night. But he has got my new device with 15,000 mA. I hope it does the job. This morning we were on the coast. By mid-day we are approaching the Hoanib River and scary memories from the past. Back when we camped here in 2013 we didn't know that 3 lions had made the waterhole their exclusive dinner spot. As we get closer to the Hoanib River the vegetation increases as does the wildlife. Fresh elephant droppings. Reminds me of 2013 when we were here and came across a herd of desert elephants dusting. A dust storm. I'm not sure if there is more dust inside or outside? From the lion camp we made our way up the Hoanib River and out onto a dirt road leading to the town of Sesfontein. We were told the diesel truck might arrive in a few days. So we checked out the old German fort, now a Lodge for accommodation options in their defunct campground.
