Namibian vacationland…
So we’re in Swakopmund. It’s on the coast. It’s apparently where Namibians vacation. And I’m feeling icky. Head cold. It probably doesn’t help that I was wearing my heavy winter coat in Windhoek and now it’s totally sunny – John’s been having fun with his allergies – as soon as he hit the desert it was like, poof, time for the nose to run – the weather has literally been all over the friggin’ planet.
Anyway, we’re just chillin’ in this cool coastal town. The internet cafes are actually open until 9 or 10 instead of closing like at 5. Which seems kind of strange – smaller town, longer hours. No clue.
We went to see this shipwreck off the coast – some kind of commercial boat that wrecked there last April. And John went to the Aquarium yesterday to see the shark feeding (I was sleeping). And the sand here is pretty cool – in places it’s purple from the shells mixing in with the sand. They also had this really cool lighthouse here.
Anyway, not a ton to do here – it’s the adventure place but we’re saving ourselves for Vic Falls – very popular to skydive here but I’ve lost my taste for actually wanting to do that. Maybe it’s the age thing. Maybe it’s because I’m almost 35!
We head back to Windhoek tomorrow the 26th and then the next day we head to Zambia to see Victoria Falls!
