In Swakop

Gosh, this place is amazing. We haven't travelled for almost a month now (other than in Windhoek) so I've been looking forward to this. Swakop is at the west coast of Namibia, where the ocean meets the sand dunes.

We're staying at a house by the ocean (for 6$ cdn a night) and our backyard is the beach... I guess that makes it a beach house. The city here is nothing like Windhoek. First of all, the houses don't have electric fences (not to say that it isn't a dangerous place of course). The houses are pretty much mansions here. You can tell that the well off ones are here. I had to remind myself I was in Africa again.

Tomorrow we're heading to the dunes for sandboarding in the morning. Then, on Sunday, we're going quadbiking in the dunes. I can't wait. I bought a disposible camera so the sand doesn't get in my camera. I'll have loads more pictures to put up when my supervisor brings my laptop... then I'll go somewhere with wireless internet. :P

In the next month, we'll be doing some more travelling as well. Possibly Victoria Falls (Zambia), Okavango Delta (Botswana) and Etosha National park (Namibia). That should take up a good couple weekends.

SHOUTOUT: Happy (pre)Birthday Amanda! Love/Miss you.
