Backtracking

Fabrizzio (along with Suzanne) were part of my 3 person tour group led by Wayne - to tour the Sandwich Harbour, south of Swakopmund, Namibia. It involved driving through sand dunes for almost 3 hours to get this very remote location near the beach. Wayne actually drove to the lip of the deep valley in the background. He turned off the jeep and let it slide down the dune. The groaning sound of the wheels skidding against the sand came from "the Goddess of the Dunes." It was better than roller coasters!
Later we were stuck in the sand on the beach with the tide trying to reclaim the jeep, but somehow Wayne was able to dig us out. When you are in a place this remote, you realize how good the tourguide has to be for your basic survival.
