Wedding – Honeymoon 10-22 Jan 2016

Day 4

This morning we woke up early, had breakfast and headed for the ghost town tour at 9:30 am. It all began when they found diamonds here in 1908. The town declined after World War 1. It was abandoned in 1954. It was freaky, but very interesting. The town suddenly appears out of no where, when you drive round the corner. They also had a bowling alley, which was restored. That evening we went to a beautiful church called Felsenkirche, which over looks Luderitz on Diamond Hill. The church was built in 1911 and is known for its stained glass windows. It was really windy on top of the Diamond Hill and Kieron was scared that I would fly off the cliff. The only place that I have seen wind like is in Cape Town during the South Easter.

Day 2

We must have woken up at a reasonable good time because the sun was steaming through the curtains. I eventually got up and made tea, we had a shower. We went to have breakfast and came back to our room to pack up. I had to drive through the border post, because it was my car. It wasn’t too far to the South African and Namibian border so I wasn’t too phased. I was still very impressed that my car made it this far.

I drove for a an hour or so and then Kieron took over. He then drove to our overnight stay. Our destination was near the Fish River Canyon. Called the Canon Road house. It was awesome!:) The Fish River Canyon was amazing!! My little car actually made it to the Canyon and back to the Roadhouse on a dust road with a gradient which was good at all!

Day 0

Let me start from the beginning. Saturday late afternoon I married my best friend, love of my life Kieron Thwaites. It was the most amazing day of my life! So technically my honeymoon started that evening. I knew where we were going on honeymoon, but I didn’t know the itinerary. So I first night on honeymoon was staying at the City Lodge (near Pinelands). He wanted to book the Vineyard but half of England was down in Cape Town for the South Africa vs England cricket tour. The City Lodge was really nice and fine with me. It was only for a night after all.

Day 1

We left the City Lodge after breakfast around 10:00 am. We then fulled up with petrol and pick up some bottled water. We then took the drive to Springbok for the night. We are driving in my Nissan Micra (Ron’s car broke down a week before the wedding).
