What a drive from Deadvlei to Swakopmund, about 500km, all gravel roads, some ‘bouncy’ – Namibian massage! – but always something to look at. Always the chance of an ostrich, a zebra or local tribe members trying to get you to stop and buy ‘gems’ or just give them money. A hard decision to drive on, as we want to help but suspect that just giving money isn’t the best way.

The next morning having spent the night atop our camper van, we start a day od pure fun! Mola-Mola safaris were superb. Morning of paddlinf around the bay, 1,000’s of seals and thyen a BBQ on tyhe beach – crayfish and steak. WOW!!

Then the afternoon of sand dune driving. What an experience.

On the way back we stopped to see 100’s of lesser and greater flamingoes. A sight to behold.

Suoerb day and more tenting experience to come.

Totally glorious. And all with just us and our guide. Thanks Mola Mola. Worth every NAD.
