Swakopmund, Namibia and Langstrand, Namibia 11.7 - 11.9

We are in a city called Swakopmund, Namibia which is on the south western coast of the African continent. The famous "skeleton coast" is just to our north though we wont be able to make it there because of permitting issues. The town we are in is so strange. There is a HUGE German influence and it feels nothing like Africa, luckily we will be getting out of here pretty soon and getting back to the real Africa. 


Look close.


Yes there is a kid in that tree.


They tow their plains with tractors in Namibia


 This is Swakopmund, Namibia. Germany in Africa. Sleepy little seaside village in the middle of nowhere.  We are WAY off the beaten path.


 Toes in the Atlantic



 We shot in the dunes today. I have never seen anything like it. I just got out of the shower and found sand in some bizarre places. 



 We had to take dune buggies to get out there because our Land Rover got stuck in the sand. 


 Tonight we are in a town called Langstrand, Namibia. We are staying at a Lodge called "The Burning Shore." Total upscale joint. As i checked in and got my key the staff told me that Brad and Angelina rented the whole hotel a couple of years ago. 



I am staying in a room named after one of their sons. I may or may not be sleeping in the bed he was conceived.


We drive 12 hours south tomorrow.
