The Stripes of Sandwich Harbour
With the ocean at my back, I snapped the different layers from white sand, green foilage, red wild asparagas, blue tidal pool with white flamingos and a background of giant sand dunes.
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.

The Room of Heavenly food
This is the dining room of the Deutsche Hause (German House) restaurant in Swakopmund, Namibia, where I am making my way through their menu of incredible German food and South African wine. Soon they will have to instal a winch to hoist me up from the table. Thank goodness my room is only 20 fet away from the restaurant....
