1st Snowboard Trip of the Year!
... was going to have a heart attack, but It was totally worth it to see the sun come up over top of the red sand peaks all around. The best part of hiking up a sand dune? Getting to run back down it. I think it's even funner than scree running in the mountains.

A Desert Oasis
... after trudging up three steep dunes in the blistering sun, I was happy to get back on my quad bike and cruise through on four wheels.
Less exciting things to do in Swakopmund included the boring necessities like laundry and internet. I also had to buy new shoes (see Cheetah Park blog.
