April 30 - Day 112

Today did a magnificent ride to the Fish River Canyon.  Remember it is supposed to be number two to the Great (Grand) Canyon.  After seeing it, I must say it is a distant second but it was beautiful....

Here are some pictures:

Oops, I snuck in the picture...  :)

But you can see the canyon in the background.

On the trip I was treated to the sight of an Ostrich crossing the road at a full run. It was really neat in that it didn't move its head or body but it's legs were moving at a rapid pace.  It kind of reminded me of the roadrunner in the cartoons...  beep beep. :)

I also scared up a Springbok on the road.  He was about 20 meters off the road and I must have startled him.  He took a couple of running steps and then began to bounce or spring up into the air as he moved off.  It was a real treat to see.  

We are getting closer and closer to the end.  :)
