So after the Dead Valley we were back on the road heading to Fish Canyon. And to our next camp site at Canon Roadhouse in Namibia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Canon Roadhouse was a sight for sore eyes. Ice cold beer, old school American cars, swimming pool and Oryx free ranging through out the camp site. I love how all these roadstops, out here in the desert, all have bulk oldschool cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campsite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We unloaded the truck and set up camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then headed into the bar for some beers and lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Canon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This bar has such a cool set up. Jam packed with mint condition American cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Canon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They also have some cool souvenirs for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we were relaxing with a couple of cold ones Renee came into the bar saying “Quick come outside you have to see this!” I put my beer down and rushed outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Under a tree right next to the building was a wild Oryx! Man these animals are so cool. They are like a cow, horse, goat all mixed into one animal! With super long horns and the best colour scheme in the animal kingdom in my opinion. Grey, black and white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was just chilling grazing on the lush green grass. Which is quite rare out here in the desert.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Us being near him didn’t bother him at all. It was so cool to just watch one of my new favourite African animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went back inside and finished my beer. Then went and checked out the rest of the roadhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even outside they have a lot of old cars. This place is also like a old car museum. Wow what a collection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Canon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My favourite was this rusty old car with a tree growing out of the engine bay. It must have been there for a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now the bar has some funny thing in it. For example, the men’s toilet has this painting on the wall, with a Pandora’s box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curiosity got the better of me. So I opened it up and it sent off an alarm through out the bar! Ha ha ha inside the box was a note that I had to shout the bar for having such a dirty mind. Ha ha so when you walk out of the toilet everyone gives you a cheer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing they have is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sniff Bar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where you load it up with a little bit of menthol powder. Then place your nose on one end, while your mate hits the other end with a mallet and the menthol dust shoots straight up your nose! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ha ha man it is a very intense experience. It’s used to clear out your dry nose from the desert I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
