Giraffe in the haze

The trip had to come to an end and so it did. Tar road back to Windhoek, straight shot, except we did stop and see the Cheetah Conservation Fund. Well worth the 40 km of gravel road as a side trip. They work to preserve cheetahs in the wild as well as take care of animals that can't be released. Feeding time is 14:00 on weekdays. They have a very pleasant place where you can enjoy a cup of tea or a sandwich while you are waiting.

I took the picture of the giraffes just because they are so prehistoric looking. Especially in silhouette with the dry lake beyond. They don't make a lot of sense here though, the trees are too short.

Flight back to JNB without incident. Came in for landing with the sun glinting off a sea of tin roofs. Informal housing. Got my daughter off on her flight back to the states, we back to LOS.

Todays note: Feels like home. Picked up the toaster to clean underneath. Sitting there was the fattest gecko I've ever seen. It moved pretty slow, but I was slower and it got away under the bookcase. Probably see it again later.
