WALVIS BAY - 2nd Day

Another adventure in Namibia. Six of us loaded into 2 4x4, heading south to Sandwich Harbor. Our destination was to the some of the worlds highest dunes that decend into the Atlantic Ocean. We were pushed a little for time as the tide was coming in and would soon reach the dunes, making it impassable by vehicle. Although that really won't stop you from getting to our final destination, as we soon found out. The ride back was thru the dunes and very excelarting. Up and down the steep dunes, more or less like a roller coaster. The dunes were mesmerizing, some how they just drew you in. Our treat was a champagne lunch in the dunes.
We had a guide that was very persistent. He wanted to show us a Namib Sand Gecko. During the day, they bury themselves under the sand up to a meter deep. On the 4th try, our guide found one. Also, our guide showed us how a magnet would pick up the iron from the sand. He then put the iron in my hand and ran the magnet along the back. Weird, weird the magnet made the iron do strange things! The final stop was at the salt fields and the red water. And more flamingosMeer informatie
