... way. The other two, Gekko and Ewald, are Namibian. They take turns driving the truck. When we arrive at a campsite, all 3 of them set up our tents, cook our meals over a campfire, etc. like a well-oiled machine. They have been taking very good care of us and their cooking is terrific! The first night, we had a fabulous dish called no-name chicken.

Tomorrow morning I'm going quad biking on the dunes and in the afternoon I should have time to post some more.

... putting their craftwork in our hands and explaining how they had hand made things.

Next we went to an artist’s house where the walls the ceilings, the fence, everything was hand painted in brilliant colors and patterns by the owner and his wife. It was gorgeous! !

Next we went to an actual “doctor” of the camp, I suspect he was just for the tourists benefit, who uses animal dung and plants to cure illnesses that people come ...

... cooks help, dishes, truck cleaning and dogs bodies. I got put into the dogs bodies group which is permanent for the rest of the tour, basically I get to do all the manual labor like setting up camp and then packing everything back onto the truck when we leave. Rachel got put into a regular group which rotates around the other 3 duties and on our first day she was a cooks help which involved peeling potatoes and the likes. Rachel also gets a day off every 3 days while I never ...

... etwas grösser als Lichtenstein ist. Eine Dimension, welche für uns Schweizer schwer vorstellbar ist. Unser Campingplatz war der Hammer. Wer hat schon ein WC mit Aussicht auf eine tolle Ebene und duscht in Felsen mit Blick auf rote Sanddünen? Wir haben es genossen.
Weiter ging unsere Fahrt durch eine trockene Steinwüstenlandschaft in den Nordwesten nach Walvis Bay und Swakopmund. Vom heiss trockenen Savannenwetter ...

... all had a good night. We were even able to get hot chips at the end of the night at 3am. They were better then crikle chip man!!!
The next day we were all hung over. We had KFC (a real treat) and I spent the rest of the day watching movies in our room. Leon went go karting with one of the guys from our tour. Leon Lapped the army driver guy twice and had the lap times to prove it.

Hello everyone, Our drive this morning is very flat through absolute desert. We are heading to a seal colony on the coast. As we got closer to the ocean the ground became white...it was salt flats. The place we stopped was first discovered by the Portugese. They placed a cross on a small hill to claim the land for their king. The cross is gone but two replicas have been placed on the hill. The seal colony here is huge!!! There are seals everywhere and its rather stinky ...

... good. I've also got a CD of the sand boarding which I can share online, when I figure out how. I've finally managed to upload some photos although it has taken me 3 hours so far...as the connection is so slow. It's our last night out here, as the food is so cheap I'm sure we'll be off to a fish restaurant. I might even be decadent and have Lobster....as my nose looks like one from the wind burn and sun!!

... day we drove to Orange River which borders Namibia. The campsite was great, as they all were, with amazingly clean and pretty facilities. I actually didn't really feel like I was roughing it too much suprisingly! The river itself was lovely and the water was warm. When we first arrived I took a dip in the river with a few others. We swam out to this surboard attached to a buoy and I had a bit of fun with one of the aussie girls trying to stand up on it, which I succeeded somehow ...
