Last night we slept very well; no cold and no mattress that goes flat every 2 hours. We slept long today (8h00).
After breakfast we went to the centre of Swakopmund. We first went to the carwash. The car was very dirty and needed to be washed urgently. After the carwash we went to the museum of Swakopmund and the lighthouse. We also visited the market with African souvenirs. Then we went to town again. We walked around and did some shopping.
After eating lunch in the Lighthouse Restaurant we went to Walvis Bay; a big town close to Swakopmund. On our way to Walvis Bay we saw the amazing dunes of the desert on our left side and the beautiful sea on our right side. We drove around in Walvis Bay and visited “Dune 7”; one of the biggest dunes around the area. We also went to see the lagoon.
Around 16h we went back to Swakopmund.In the evening we did a braai at our apartment and relaxed.
It is very warm in Swakopmund. Apparently that is not normal for this time of the year but of course we don’t complain. We enjoy every minute of the hot sun and the warmth because in a few days we will be in the freezing desert.
