From Etosha we went to the Kaokoveld region and South Damaraland where the rock outcrops are amazing (monument valley comes to mind). There is also bushmen rock art in this area (soon to be a world heritage site). The dunes on the Skeleton Coast were stunningly beautiful but it is a very bleak place indeed with frequent morning thick sea fogs and very cold so we didnt stay there as long as planned and stayed overnight in Henties Bay (the campsites along the coast were far from inviting!). Had fun in the Landy on soft sand visiting the wreck of the ‘Winston’ on the beach. Also a crazy Cessna 182 pilot had landed on the beach (cant imagine what our CAA would make of that!).
Then went on to Spitzkoppe where there are weathered Granite outcrops. We bush-camped here with wonderful clear skies and so many stars. We saw Klipspringers here (small rock climbing antelope) and lots of Dassies (Rock Hyraxes). Next we stayed the night in Swakopmund a reasonable size town (in Namibian terms) to stock up on provisions. We are now in the Nakuluft mountains doing a bit of walking. Last night was very windy again but we (and the tent) survived but not so much sleep.
