Southern Namibia: as beautiful as we remembered.

Seals in their thousands , sea dwelling flamingos, wild desert horses and (unfortunately) distressed Oryx.

The succulent Lithops - amazing desert plants which look like living stones until they flower. The crazy quiver trees in stark dry landscapes.

The variation in scenic landscapes. Quiet vistas, sand filled deserted towns, stunning koppies creeping from the Namib Desert and eroded schist canyons.

The highlight: Sossusvlei, Dead Vlei and Hidden Vlei: surrounded by some of the highest dunes in the world. Stunning, mesmerising red dunes carved by wind surrounding the vleis (dry pans) - real geology in action here.

A welcome treat: apple pie in the middle of nowhere, which meant we identified a minor issue with the car - quickly fixed. A lucky pass when the 100th "crazy", closely passed us at speed - the windscreen survived another day to see another wonder.

A quick stop by the seaside in a quaint ex-colonial town (Swakopmund) to restock, enjoy the delights of a few nights of someone else cooking and a grassy campsite.

Wind, wind and more wind. And then some sea mist. Such contrasts.
