The delightful town of Swakopmund is located on the central western coast of Namibia. It is a charming German seaside outpost. It is very upbeat, with a positive vibe and friendly people. Lots of German food and beer. It is a great place to shop, eat in an outdoor cafe, or just to relax by the sea. We spent a couple of days here just relaxing after working at CCF.
We decided to take a drive north along the Skeleton Coast. What a difference! The landscape is a vast, stark and dusty desert. This area is known for it's large quantity of shipwrecks. Sailors would become disoriented in the dense fog and run their ships aground. Next time we come to Namibia, we plan to take an aerial tour of the coast to enjoy the wildlife and beauty of this amazing region.
