After a night spent sleeping in the car and taking the "death trap" road again, it took us a better part of the morning to do the first 120 kilometers, off to Augrabies Fall National Park we go…
All considering, once we were back on dry land the road to Augrabies Falls National Park was rather pleasant and uneventful. We stopped in Upington to re-stock and eat. The Dros Restaurant was rather good.
We decided to take a chalet at Augrabies Fall National Park, if only to ensure a good night sleep without a flood. The self catering chalet we were given was more than adequate. Though Augrabies Falls National Park is bigger than the "falls" it is the falls one goes to see. Everything is organized for the "falls", safety barriers, decks, path, … I suppose it might take out a bit of the charm from the falls, but then again I can understand why it was done. The falls were far from "thundering" but even so one can imagine it doing just that.
I was to be very lucky with yet another incredible sunset, I was spoilt.
Augrabies Fall National Park is a worth while stop if you are in the region I really recommend it.
