The next sector of our journey was a relatively short one as our primary destination in the Sossusvlei desert was Namib Sky Ballooning, but we had planned to break it up with a stop in Aus (go figure with the name of the town), and we picked the Bahnhof Hotel - Hobson's choice really - not the greatest, WiFi only available near reception (typical of remote locations we found), but clean sheets and pleasant staff.

The attraction on this sector is the wild horses of Garub, which we were lucky to find down a turnoff. They are reputed to be descended from the colonising German cavalry. Brigi was of course in her 'nyofies' and, being her horse whisperer self, was stroking and loving them. A great experience. Check out the rearing stallions in the gallery, probably defending mare rights.
