Namaqua Trip - Day 2

Rose early to yet another birthday surprise. 
Balloons, birthday message on a window, cupcakes and champagne.



Then we set off on a day of adventure.
First a good breakfast at the lovely Rose Cafe in Kakamas.



The owner found out I had just turned 50 and did something extract special.


Then onto Die Mas brandy distillers for tasting and of course buying.

Sticking on the labels

The middle bottle is my favourite.....the Kalahari Truffel

Then onto an Orange River view point



Next stretch the road to Riemvasmaak. A small settlement in the rugged mountains. 
Quite a difficult dirt road that leads to the Hot Springs.

Quick snack lunch out of the back of the Ranger.







Quick stop over at Kalahari Oasis and River Company for a sundowner





 ....and a fitting end to a fabulous 50th birthday celebration day
