In Search Of Silence

If I think about wide-open spaces, two places come to mind: Namibia and the Karoo. This time the Karoo was the closest.

SOMETIMES one gets that indescribable longing for quietness and open spaces. Karoo quietness and openness. The only way to solve this craving is to go camping in the Karoo (or in Namibia).

When looking for a suitable spot on Google, all indicators pointed me towards Gatsrivier. I didn’t know the place and I didn’t know where it was. A quick look on Google Earth and I was sold. This is where I needed to go. I sent an email to reserve my spot and received a prompt and friendly confirmation along with directions. Everything was confirmed, it was time to pack and go.
