Having spent the last few days away from civilization, we were all ready to go early and head to Swakopmund - an adrenalin junkie town, where Namibians come to holiday (plus Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were here a couple of years ago to have their baby).

The added bonus is that we are spending two nights in hostel... yay a bed and pillow!!

After settling into the hostel and had the sales pitch of all the activities available, a group of us spent the afternoon on the sand dunes quad biking... absolutely superb!!

In the evening we hit the town, and ended up in a "lock-in" at a German bar.  Eventually returned to the hostel before the sunrise.

Sawbona!
Hi - I hope you are having an amazing African adventure. I've looked at all the photos you've posted and was amazed how you always find the quirky everywhere! Let's see if you can find any postman pat vans in Africa though.. ha ha
Have a blast!

Hi from Sharon T
Hi Sarah,
Have been keeping up with your travels via TravelPod, but have only just realised I can reply as well...! Love the photos from Namibia and the 'middle of nowhere'. Look forward to the next instalment.
Cheers,
Sharon T

Re: Sawbona!
Been looking out for Postman Pat but haven't seen him yet. Namibia and Botswana are small populations in huge countries, so we traveled thousands of kilometres and not seeing much civilization at all!!

Re: Hi from Sharon T
Trip is going well, and taking heaps of photos. Just a bit unfortunate the internet cafes are slow, so am limited how much I can upload.

Please to hear you are enjoying it anyway!!
