flight over the Skeleton coast, so named because of the high sand dunes which clash with the Benguela current to form a very short coast & foggy conditions, thus grounding many ships in the past.
The Shaunee wreck, from 1976.
smug & satisfied cos his photos were better than mine.
relaxing at the lodge before our morning hike up Vingerklip.
called the rock finger because this piece of rock juts out above the rest of the landcape.
View from Vingerklip... beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay!
Driving thru Etosha National Park... animals everywhere, going about their day while we watched.
Two hours after driving thru the muddy clay roads of the park. In fact, we had to wipe or wash the front of the car very often... except that water is so precious in most areas of Namibia that we felt bad.
Giraffes are so peace-loving... just meandering along & eating leaves. They remind us of dinosaurs, with their prehistoric-looking necks & majestic gait. In the mornings, we often see them at the horizon, their long necks bobbing up & down.
Accompanying us on our slow drive mid-morning.
Sunset over Etosha
Goodbye Namibia, we will miss you.... Looking at the skies, I nearly teared... However, the people who were so kind to us, even though they had so little, will always remind me how lucky we are. And together with improving government infrastructure, i am optimistic about Namibia's future. xx
