Narraville

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.

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.
