That morning we decided to stay with Paul Hoffman for 1 more night. Since Pipa’s tire popped, they drove to Khorixas, and we drove to the petrefied forest. It was a long drive to the petrefied forest and we saw elephant poop all over. At the petrefied forest, we found our guide, and he took us first to the welwitschias. There were petrefied logs from pine trees that grow in Arizona, Patagonia, and Madagascar. But they don’t grow in mainland africa anymore.
The biggest log
Lizard on a log turned to stone.
There were also a lot of lizards.
At the end of the tour, we went to the gift shop. There, Daddy bought a springbok horn beer opener and I bought a springbok jawbone. Sam bought a slingshot. On the way to the next campsite, we stopped by Khorixas to pick up Pipa and his family. There, I met two little kids who only spoke Afrikaans. On the way to the upper Huab river, we drove down a road where a herd of elephants had walked. There was poop, footprints, and nocked down trees everywhere. At the campsite we saw a magnificent view.
