Travel Across Africa

1 For six hours we shot through the barren(荒芜的)landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
2 Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring(咆哮)of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
3 And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room a kilometre from clean water.
4 As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty—we hadn’ t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
5 I shouted to Dan : "Look !" but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.
6 When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
7 "Wild horses" he said. "Why didn’t you wake me up, Sophia"
8 "I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds. "
9 "Are you sure you didn’t dream it’"
10 "You were the one who was sleeping!"
11 "Typical , "he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take. "
12 We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
Daniel and Sophia saw a lot of wonderful things.
