After a not so peaceful night sleep with wind howling and showers of gravel landing on our face we woke early and made haste. We were fortunate that the campsite we were staying at had a bakery which was famous for its apple pie... so that was breakfast on the bus because it was too windy to eat normally.
We made our way to Swakopmund which is a small city on the coast of Namibia. This is where we had a first break from camping .... 2 nights in bungalows ... luxury!
Our first stop in Swakopmund was the Adventure Centre where we listened to a run down of all of optional activities for the next couple of days... quad biking, sand boarding, sky diving, go karts, catamaran trip... the list goes on... oh what to do?!
The quad biking and sand boarding combination trip for tomorrow morning is booked, Sky diving is possible but we thought it best to wait and see what the weather and wind are doing tomorrow.
We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing and wandering around the town, as well as trying to change money... which was next to impossible and very frustrating. Along with Marieka and Trent (friends from our tour group) we went to Ombo (Namibian for ‘Ostrich’) Restaurant for dinner and enjoyed some Ostrich and Springbok... both were delicious!
