Swakopmund doesn't feel like the rest of Namibia, at least not the Namibia we've seen so far. This is a seaside town with rocky beach, dramatic waves, boardwalk, upscale restaurants, condos, and a lot of things Germanic--food, colonial architecture, and language. Not much camping here. It's more a place where you rent a beach cottage. Richard found us a lovely room with a balcony and view of the ocean. What a change from the inland desert.

| The head has actually gone down! Apparently Namib Dune craft beer has to be opened and poured very slowly. It was quite a project to fill the glass. |
Next we drive to Barkhan Dune Retreat in Solitaire. Unfortunately there’s some flood damage to the road and it’s corrugated as is. The pass isn’t going to be easy either. Hope we get through with all the recent rain. Wish us luck!
I love reading about and seeing photos of your adventures! Thanks for posting!
