| Yes, it really exists! Not sure about this one yet, but will see on the way back |

| The view from the Room. Very rocky, but stunning. |

| The room. VERY new, we are the first visistors. Still busy building the new section. |
We did a early reconosince of the Pofadder Hotel as we have reservations on our way back. Will have to see. First time in years we've seen a Hotel with liquor offsales (bottle shop) next door - with, needless to say, many thirsty guys sitting across the road. Was not able to find the tourist info centre in Pofadder and for serious brocheru travellers like us it was a bit disappointing. It seems bar the flowers once a year, there is not much else - the beautifll harsh scenery makes up for it though.
The road to Springbok seemed endless!! Straight, 311 Km with numerous stop / go sections. It is great to see how much roadwork is going on in even these remote towns, many of the roads are in far better condition than in Gauteng. We hoped to see the town everytime we crested a hill, but was met with more and more straigth tar road.

The town itself is great - even had a Nando's. And, as Neville always notices, if a town sells 95 unleaded petrol, it's a cut above the rest. People are really friendly, the town is very clean, but they seriosuly cannot drive!! Who on earth does 60 on the highway!! Sadly, no good shoe shops :(
