| In June and July
it's winter in South Africa. During the day we often have a bright blue
sky and temperatures of 22° - 25° Celcius |
| but in the evenings
and at night temperatures will drop, sometimes to only 5° Celcius at
night. |
| In the morning the Mercury-stardeck
is a nice place to have your early morning coffee, as the first sunbeams
hit the deck. |
| |
| Dinner will be served in our boma,
around the campfire. During the evening the wateringhole is enlit by a
spotlight. |

interesting nebula's. |
