Sesriem to Usakos, Namib Wuste Farm Stall
Today we were heading from the desert to the coast – another long drive, and more dirt road as well. We drove from the red sandy desert, through some eery looking mountains with a mix of yellow flowers, green grass, red rock and grey sky, to emerge into a white sandy desert as we headed into Walvis Bay where we had lunch.
We then spent the afternoon at Swakopmund - a slice of Germany on the Namibian coast, with architecture and cusine to match! One of the many tourist stalls was run by girls from the Himba tribe (normally from much further north near Opuwo). K had seen a documentary on the tribe (twice), where an English woman lives with them for a month – so seeing the Himba was on K’s to-do list. A bracelet was purchased, which came with permission to take a photo – they are well aware of their “novel” value.
After a pleasant afternoon at Swapok we pressed on to Usakos so we could get some more km’s out of the way before stopping for the night, as we have a lot to see in Namibia and our campervan time is running out! We ended up at a camping ground which had some resident shetland ponies, who were quite inquisitive - and K thought she was finished with horses!
