More rock art on the farm next door to Ai Aiba.  The farm, Omandumba West, in the Erongo region of Namibia, had some very thin cattle after two years of poor rains.   While driving around the farm we also saw a wonderful little lodge built into the rocks for overnight camping.  Shower at the top on the balcony. Tin roof water  sealed with the ubiquitous foam. Ledges  downstairs for bedding. Beautiful view over the valley,  South facing.

Lunch provided by the farm sitting in the the sun-shaded kitchen garden.  Watched a lizard catch and eat butterflies. Ate smoked zebra,  salad, tinned peas with yoghurt and secret mix of herbs.

That afternoon we went to the Living Bushman Museum  where we saw fire making, bow making and hunting.  Video of these.  Unfortunately I missed the men performing the ostrich dance. Rosemary bought a necklace made from ostrich egg, having watched the ladies make beads from the egg shell.  It was only when I looked at the GPS logs, I realised the Living Museum was only a few hundred yards behind Ai Aiba lodge, the other side of a pile of granite blocks.

Evening meal was the best.  Impala gazpacho followed by a Kudu steak. Martin, the lodge manager,  then gave us a talk about the white lady who we hope to see tomorrow morning.

Yet another beautiful starlight night.
