Sandwich Harbor, Namibia

In our usual fashion, we got off the ship to find an excursion. We were first met with some local young women who were doing some traditional dancing. Then came the tour hawkers. Only some could take us to Sandwich Harbor, which was our first choice. We found a guide and agreed on a price, but we had to wait for another vehicle to fill up. During the wait, along came Andy. Indian by birth, but an American citizen and hard core negotiator. In the end, he saved us about $100. Thank you, Andy.
We finally left, and the first stop was to see flamingos. Then we saw the famous pink lake. It's a bit of a disappointment. Then off to Sandwich Harbor.
We drove through the sand along the ocean front, stopping a couple of times for photos. We saw two jackals, a couple of dead seals, and some seals in the water.
Then we headed up to the top of the massive dunes for a fun ride and some incredible views.
We took a different way back by a waterhole, spotting an impala.
Then it was back to town to start the second tour of the day, which Andy negotiated a super deal on.Read more
