Folks,
Got into the Capital of Namibia Friday AM, and located a
‘Backpackers Lodge’ through someone else on the plane.
It is $8 / night, for a shared dorm room, Lounge, TV,
kitchen - and excellent company of other people that
have travelled through the continent - mostly Australians,
New Zealanders (Kiwis) and Brits here, many of whom are on
extended trips of six months or more.
I organised a trip down to some huge natural sand dunes,
that have had an uncommonly large amount of rain this year.
Water in the desert is unusual, and the fauna adapts to
make best advantage of it for the short time it is around.
Most years there is no rain at all in this place.
