Beautiful traditional dancing


Swakopmund


Road to nowhere


Looks like a Toyota advertisement


Skeleton coast shipwreck. John, thanks for not swimming out to it!


What an appropriate sign


A smelly colony of seals


Absolutely fascinating San art. Can you see the animal in the tiger’s mouth?


The weird and wonderful welwitschia: ‘ The strangest tree in the world, the Welwitschia, is found in Northwest Namibia. Like many drought resistant plants, it endures by growing at a tremendously slow rate, producing only two leaves in its lifetime.’


John and Irina about to climb a big rock somewhere between Sesfontein and Opuwo


Desert oasis


Where the river is not


A desert elephant in Puros.


Flat tire #2 of 3


Stuck in the sand…took two hours to dig it out…thanks Irina for running 5k to get help – you’re amazing!


Nikki, brad and I after two hours of digging. Brad, you look nice with a nice thick beard of dirt!


The skeleton coast was quite the journey! Good thing we came prepared!
