FIRST DAY IN ANGOLA - BAOBAB TREES

10 hours drive from Luanda to Huambo,
and a tiny stop to take some pictures of these amazing trees!

Baobabs store up to 100,000 litres or 26,000 US gallons water in the trunk to endure the dry season. It shed all the leaves when dry and look like the roots are in the air and not in the ground. Once a year it gets flowers that bloom during the night with an awful smell that attracts insects.

Fascinating tree and I'm happy we took the 5 minutes pause :-)

Sorry for the lack of commenting, I will come back to you when I'm home.
