Swakopmund

We broke camp early this morning and left the Namib Desert to head to Swakopmund, a small German style touristy town on the Atlantic Ocean. Our first stop at 8am was in Solitaire for hot apple pie. (no lie). We then passed the Tropic of Capricorn and had a quick photo stop at Kuiseb Canyon, a spot in Naukluft Park on the west coast of Namibia that resembles a moon landing. Another surreal experience. This country is full of surprises. We saw some pretty pink flamingoes in the lagoons just outside of Walvis Bay and then arrived in Swakopmund. The afternoon was spent strolling around on the boardwalk and through the craft market and shops on the main street. Gotta love the Helmeted Guinea Fowl, they are so ugly they are cute!Read more
