From Augrabies to Cape Town

Augrabies is right on the border of South Africa and Namibia, which means its also the very edge of the Namib desert with its red sands. Its very dry and arid (being a desert) but still has a pretty unique beauty. This drive (although very, very long) is interesting, cause the landscape changes perceptibly the nearer you get to the coast. As we were driving we started to notice little wild flowers growing alongside the road. They were beautiful and very bright pinks, purples oranges and yellows. Then I remembered that we were driving through during the Namaqualand Daisy season. We never got very close to one of the huge daisy fields, but could see the masses of colour off in the distance.
