Every time I turn the corner, there's another breathtaking landscape around the way. It is very rare to even see a fence here. At the camp we stayed at last night, the land was purchased for an equivalent $30,000 USD. It had a house and 13,000 sq kilometers. For as far as you could see in any direction, this was his property. For not seeing one lake or river, I'm astonished by the amount of wildlife that fills this part of the world. They say it only rains once or twice a year and the rain is actually very bad for the desert. A lot of the creatures go deep within the sand at night and the rain hardens the ground trapping them below. It brings disease and bugs to what's usually some of the healthiest environments on Earth. Up to this point I have drank water out of the tap and felt comfortable eating about anything excluding the sheep heads in the Langa Township. I yet to see once piece of trash, the people take pride in their property, and love traveling in a country which has so far survived the destruction of the human race. Here people understand and respect the limited resources that are available to them.
