Namibia
We toured from Windhoek north to Etosha National Park, across to the Skeleton Coast and from there down through Walvis Bay, the Namib Sand dunes at Sossusvlei, and finally to Klein Aus to see the wild horses of Namibia. A truly spectacular country, dry as anything, but full of wonderful experiences. At Sossusvlei we timed it perfectly for a gigantic sandstorm blowing across the country to the sea - a sight visible in satellite images. Somehow the sand blowing off the sides was more interesting than the usual spectacular shots of the static dunes: the grains of sand looked like water blowing off the surface.
