Day 5 of Road trip: The road to Garries and Fairy Circles!!

Day 5 of Road trip: The road to Garries

After my early morning walk and some nice breakfast, we hit the road on our next leg of our road trip from Hondeklipbaai to Doringklipbaai. Like I mentioned in my post of yesterday Hondeklipbaai is in the middle of nowhere and all roads leading to it are gravel. Just look at this long straight corrugated gravel road.

Well there are some turns in the road.

There are also some fairy Circles next to the road.

My son's girl friend's father does research on Fairy Circles in Namibia and his theory is that the Milk Bushes causes the Fairy Circles when they die, because they alter the Hydroscopic qualities of the ground. You can read more about it in the link below.

We did find Milk Bushes along the road, which could explain his theory and the circles that are also found in these parts.

You can see a number of clear circles in the photo below and also in the video.

The gravel road eventually came to an end and we arrived at the small town of Garries, where we had some coffee, before continuing with our journey to Doringklipbaai!!

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.
