sesriem & sossusvlei

Sesriem & Sossusvlei is Namibia's No 1 tourist attraction. Its the place with huge red sand dunes rising up 800 Meters and simply stunning to see. Tom and I spent a couple of days out here seeing them at sunrise & sunset, climbing them, (which was very challenging) and running down them which was exhilarating as we were traveling so fast, our feet had trouble keeping up to the rest of us.

It took an hour to climb and 20 seconds to descend.

On the way there we stopped by a river to check out a family of monkeys. They were as curious about us as we them. It was here we had our first flat tyre and while changing it, a group of South Africans pulled up and assisted us with some cold beers.

The Sossusvlei is a lake similar to lake Eyre as in it only has water every 50 years. Last full in 1997.

Very hot dry thirty desert country and well worth the visit.

Final word on the van is it was fixed in Windhoek and runs well now. Carbie problem.
