Sossusvlei
... the dunes. Absolutely stunning but the boarding not worth it...one minute down and twenty minute hike back in 40 degrees. Packed it in for belly sliding on a bit of waxed cardboard, sometimes it's theme things! Met A few likeable and interesting characters (Ivor, dupti, mark and Brie - a pilot who works on humanitarian aid in conflict zones, a teacher, an artist and a nutcase, in ...
An Unforgettable Day at the Dunes
... breakfast packs. Incredible! The last 5 km to the Dead Vlei is 4WD only and we had to catch a shuttle there and then walk about 2 km across the dunes to the Dead Vlei.
