Central Park – Midnight

Can’t be far now. I remember reading the course notes and noticed that most of the last mile is downhill so I pick up the pace and ahead of me notice that the Smurf has stopped for a rest.

Living the Himba Dream

One gorge we passed through in the Amein Valley was like the Grand Canyon, the burnt orange walls creating an amazing contrast with the cobalt blue sky.
