Holiday Snapshots

Mid-service braai in Windhoek
The infamous train to southern Namibia
Quiver tree in Gondwana - my favorites
Hiking in Gonwana Canon
Gondwana Canon Roadhouse - Route 66-themed
Backpacking
Fish River Canyon - the second largest in the world
Driving through desolate southern Namibia
Time well spent moving mud and boulders to make tracks for our 4x4 over the washed-out C13
Contrasting, beautiful Namibia
Luderitz Waterfront, flanked by dunes across the bay
Old German architecture in the middle of the desert
The desert ghost town of Kolmanskop
The dunes are shifting and overtaking every building in Kolmanskop
Diaz Cross - a replica of the one erected by Bartholomew Diaz in 1488
Dipping our toes into the freezing (hey, penguins live here) Atlantic Ocean
First dune sighting! Especially green from the recent rains
Climbing our first tiny dune at sunset
Contemplating life at dawn on the top of Dune 45
The descent from Dune 45, one of the largest in the world
One of the vleis near Sossusvlei
