Karoo - Day5 Leg18 - River stop

On the way down to Prince Albert, we went down a long gravel road of about 100km, through a really remote part of the world, where you seldom see people, only the occasional animal. Because its in the semi-arid desert it is always quite a treat to see water anywhere. We got to this river crossing and due to the recent rains, we found quite a lot of water in the river, with it the varied bird life it attracts.

Looking at the GPS/Sat Nav in the picture below one can see the time and we only had another 20-30 minutes before the sun would set, with about 58 km or so to go to the turn off after which was another 35km, so we didn't have too much time to stop and look around anymore.
