We left Palmwag this morning and headed north to Opuwo, our last chance to fuel up and stock up on food and water for our trip north over the next 5 or so days. On the way we saw our first giraffes of the trip (my favourite animals), some squirrels and some zebras in the distance. We crossed heaps of riverbeds, both with and without water in them, but none had more than 20-30cm of water in them.
Opuwo is a strange place. Walking through town you have people who have adopted western dress walking down the street with people in traditional Herero dress, which is like stepping back to Victorian times in their long full gowns and headwear. There are also traditional Himbas in their animal skirts and bare breasted.
We are staying tonight at the Camp at Opuwo Country Hotel. It is very posh with a lovely infinity pool, bar and restaurant. 
Tomorrow we head off north for about 5 days to Epupa Falls and to tackle the Van Zyls Pass. Wish us luck!
