Canyon Lodge |
It’s not that easy to find your room in the Canyon Lodge. At least when you – like us – arrive not until sundown. Indeed there’s an exterior light, but this is relatively weak, so that we – anyhow – have to search and estimate respectively, in which of the bungalows we are placed.
However, our room (Number 10) is nicely arranged and the third bed is also quite practical. So we don’t have to throw our clothes onto the floor or the bedside carpet (a springbok fur). And we are used to push the beds together because of our other journeys. Admittedly, unfamiliar is the blanket: Normally you only get thin sheets in southerly countries, but here we can nestle down in fluffy warm blankets.
All of the bungalows are arranged like a corral round the sparse interior zone (garden?) of the lodge. To lose one’s way is impossible. The worst thing that can happen is that you walk to your room from the wrong side and that you thereby stumble some more metres than necessary through the dark. But that shouldn’t be a problem in view of the long driving routes in Namibia.
What you don’t see from the outside: The bathroom has got a little roof, which extends into the room as a “thatched roof in the thatched roof” and gives the room a special ambiance.
