Soaring in Swakopmund!!!

We have been in Swakopmund, Namibia for about 5 days now and really enjoying it. It is a little beach resort type town with very German heritage and quite a few cafes and restaurants. We have been treating ourselves at least once a day to dining out! And we are set up in a pretty nice campsite (Alte Brucke) with our own private toilet/shower, bbq area and washing up sink – it is practically luxury.

The main attraction here in Swakopmund is for Dave – he can fly on the massive sand dunes that are just on the edge of town (at last his paraglider is out of the car!) and Sharon is using her time to work on her tan. Even with factor 30 she is now a slightly darker shade of white! And there is time to read up on a lot of the Fair Trade in Tourism literature.

Dave no doubt will write more about his flying at some stage, but it looks like we will stay here for a few more days of sand dune soaring, sun bathing (although we have had rain for the first time this morning) and dining out.

From here we will continue heading south towards South Africa.
