Dunes, snakes and flamingos
... line of Namibia are huge sand dunes that meet the cold Atlantic. For dinner we decided to take a journey to Germany and went to the brauhaus. All the food was very German as well as the atmosphere. The food and beer was just as expected, very good. I tried amarula, a famous African liquor.
